Intraoperative bleeding is the most crucial safety concern of video-assisted thoracic surgery
(VATS) for a major pulmonary resection. Despite the advances in surgical techniques and …

OBJECTIVES A multicentre evaluation of the frequency and nature of major intraoperative
complications during video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) anatomical resections …

Minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer has seen considerable progress. A
segmentectomy is less invasive than a lobectomy as it preserves lung parenchyma. The …

OBJECTIVES The full thoracoscopic approach to major pulmonary resections is considered
challenging and controversial as it might compromise oncological outcomes. The aim of this …

OBJECTIVES Common video systems for video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) provide
the surgeon a two-dimensional (2D) image. This study aimed to evaluate performances of a …

Background Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RobATS) lobectomy is becoming more
common for the treatment of lung cancer. As with any relatively new technology, there is the …

Background Few studies have reported on the effects of intraoperative complications, such
as vessel injury, during thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary resection. We evaluated …

Background The aim of this study was to compare the perioperative outcome of patients
receiving anatomic segmentectomy either by open surgery or video-assisted thoracoscopic …

Objectives Vascular injuries are among the most severe causes of unplanned conversion
during VATS lobectomies. The study aimed to analyse the incidence of vascular injuries and …

OBJECTIVES Difficult thoracoscopic surgery sometimes requires a long operative time. It is
unclear whether patients benefit from such thoracoscopic surgeries. We investigated …
