The use of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has become a mainstay of modern-day thoracic oncology practice and the technique of choice for resection of early-stage lung cancers at many institutions. The feasibility of VATS lobectomy has long been well established, and there is considerable belief that it leads to better patient outcomes. In the following review we seek to summarize the current experience with VATS lobectomy, identify the strengths and weaknesses of the available literature, and address future areas of research for our field.
视频辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS）肺叶切除术已成为现代胸外科学实践的基础，也是许多机构切除早期肺癌的首选技术。VATS 肺叶切除术的可行性早已得到充分证实，人们普遍认为它可以带来更好的患者结局。在以下综述中，我们旨在总结 VATS 肺叶切除术的现有经验，确定现有文献的优势和不足，并探讨我们领域未来的研究方向。
