OBJECTIVES The role of segmentectomy in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) remains a matter of debate. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the …

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has gradually been implemented in thoracic
surgery, and the VATS approach has now been extended to technically challenging …

Anatomical segmentectomy has been developed to offer better pulmonary function
preservation than lobectomy, in stage IA lung cancer. Despite the retrospective nature of …

Background Compared to lobectomy by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS),
segmentectomy by VATS has a potential higher risk of postoperative atelectasis and air …

Objective Segmentectomy is widely performed for early-stage lung cancer. However, the
effects of segmentectomy versus lobectomy on pulmonary function remain unclear. We …

Simple Summary The detection rate of small peripheral lung nodules has risen dramatically
due to the advances in lung cancer screening programs. Approximately 10% of these …

Background Thoracoscopic segmentectomy is increasingly used in the surgical treatment of
early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. However, it remains unclear whether pulmonary …

Abstract Background The 15-item Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) scale is a validated patient-
reported outcome questionnaire that measures the quality of postoperative recovery. This …

Background Limited resections for early stage lung cancer have been of increasing interests
recently. However, it is still unclear to what extent a limited resection could preserve …

Background Clinical decision-making for patients with stage I lung cancer is complex. It
