Over the past 20 years, there have been significant advancements in thoracoscopic surgical techniques as well as in lung cancer screening protocols, which have identified greater numbers of smaller lung tumors (<2 cm) that are more frequently operable and curable. These advancements have led to new interest in the thoracoscopic (VATS) approach to segmentectomy. This article will discuss the outcomes and technical considerations associated with VATS segmentectomy.
在过去20年里,胸腔镜手术技术以及肺癌筛查方案都取得了重大进展,这些进展发现了更多数量的较小肺肿瘤(<2 cm),这些肿瘤更常可进行手术切除且可治愈。这些进展引发了人们对胸腔镜(VATS)肺段切除术的新兴趣。本文将讨论与VATS肺段切除术相关的结果和技术要点。
