“…Wang et al reported 15 cases of lung cancer patients who had accepted single-incision thoracoscopic lobectomy or segmentectomy with radical lymph node dissection, and the median number of lymph nodes retrieved was 22.9 ± 9.8. 29 In fact, most mediastinal lymph nodes can be removed by appropriate surgical technique.…”

Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lobectomy with a single utility port has emerged as a new technology in recent years. The aim of this study is to review the technology in the treatment of elderly patients with peripheral lung cancer. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 21 elderly patients with peripheral lung cancer who underwent single utility port VATS lobectomy from February 2011 to February 2013 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (VATS group). The clinical outcomes and postoperative complications were then compared to data from 32 elderly patients who underwent lobectomy by thoracotomy (TL group). Results: No mortality occurred during the postoperative period in either group. There was no statistical difference in surgery duration, the quantity of lymph node dissection or intraoperative blood loss between the VATS and TL groups. However, significant differences existed in the postoperative hospital stay (6.19 ± 1.69 days vs. 8.22 ± 2.55 days), time to first activity out of bed (20.57 ± 7.72 hours vs. 26.81 ± 9.27 hours), chest drainage duration (4.24 ± 1.04 days vs. 5.22 ± 1.29 days), and total postoperative drainage volume (642.86 ± 158.18 mL vs. 787.81 ± 211.55 mL) between the VATS and TL groups (P < 0.05). The percentage of patients with no complications in the VATS group (85.71%) is significantly higher when compared with the TL group (56.25%, P < 0.05). Conclusion: VATS lobectomy with a single utility port is a safe and feasible surgical procedure for selected elderly patients with peripheral lung cancer.

“…Its safety and efficacy have been verified by a very sizeable volume of case reports, retrospective studies, a small number of clinical trials, and reviews (6,7,10,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). For technically challenging left upper lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection, there is a desire to refine the surgical techniques constantly, create new operative tricks, and maximize the postoperative benefit.…”

“…However, their procedures were modularized without describing refined techniques or operative improvements (8)(9)(10)(11)(12).The pursuit of improvement in surgical techniques keeps moving. Without the assistance of tedious instruments, in this operation, we performed left upper lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection with fused fissure via uniportal VATS and found it to be a smooth and skillful procedure.…”

(T2aN0M0) primary lung cancer of the left upper lobe (LUL), and who underwent left upper lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection. During the operation, the placement of a single incision was readjusted to obtain optimal angulation; the versatile electrocautery hook and curved suction tube were used in conjunction with each other; accessible, cost-effective modified instruments were used; and new operative tricks were created; in addition, the operative sequence was alternated and the nerves were preserved to ensure a smooth procedure, improve efficiency, embody tumor-free operation and ensure safety. These are all good ideas that are worth disseminating.
