Evaluation of Short-Term Outcomes and the Learning Curve Wherein a Thoracic Resident Doctor Performed Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Anatomical Lung Resection for Lung Cancer
Abstract:Purpose: The surgical approach for anatomical lung resection includes open thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. We evaluated the short-term outcomes and the learning curve wherein a thoracic resident doctor consecutively performed video-assisted thoracoscopic anatomical lung resection for lung cancer. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 91 cases of consecutive video-assisted thoracoscopic anatomical lung resections for lung cancer performed by a thoracic… Show more
