  • Title: Video-assisted right lower lobectomy for a lung cancer with mini-thoracotomy.
    Author: Saito A, Yagi N, Miura K, Takano Y.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc; 1995 Feb; 5(1):56-8. PubMed ID: 7735542.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of T1N0M0 lung cancer in which we successfully performed video-assisted right lower lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection. The lobectomy was done on a 64-year-old woman who had a 2-cm adenocarcinoma in the right lower lobe. The procedure could be done safely and adequately using three trocars and a 5-cm mini-thoracotomy. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was satisfied with minimal postoperative pain, quick recovery, and minute skin scars. Video-assisted lobectomy may be a reasonable approach in selected patients of primary lung carcinoma.
