Standard thoracotomy has been considered as the classic approach and only choice for the diagnosis and treatment of certain thoracic diseases especially in patients with peripheral lung cancer. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a new minimally invasive thoracic surgery through small incisions in the intercostal muscle of chest wall by using modern camera technology, high-tech equipment and surgical instrument. Consequently, VATS has become the preferred main method for peripheral lung cancer in the last two decades. The aim of the present paper is to describe and discuss the operative techniques of VATS for right upper lobectomy (RUL).
标准开胸术被认为是经典方法，也是某些胸部疾病（尤其是周围型肺癌患者）诊断和治疗的唯一选择。电视辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS）是一种新的微创胸腔手术，通过在胸壁肋间肌上做小切口，利用现代摄像技术、高科技设备和手术器械。因此，在过去的二十年中，VATS 已成为周围型肺癌的首选主要治疗方法。本文旨在描述和讨论 VATS 行右上肺叶切除术（RUL）的手术技术。
