A comparison of the short-term outcomes of simple and complex segmentectomy via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

ABSTRACT: Performing complex segmentectomy via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a more demanding and intricate procedure than simple segmentectomy or lobectomy. Thus, the aim of our study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of uniportal VATS complex segmentectomy compared to uniportal VATS simple segmentectomy by investigating surgical outcomes of patients undergoing those procedures. We conducted a review of medical records for all patients who underwent uniportal VATS segmentectomy for lung cancer from May 2019 to February 2023. The characteristics of the patients and tumors, as well as the operative and postoperative outcomes, were compared between the group of patients who underwent simple segmentectomy and the group who underwent complex segmentectomy.
