Learning curve for double micro-portal video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy serves as a standard surgical approach for the management of resectable lung cancer. The double micro-portal VATS lobectomy technique, a viable surgical procedure, has gained widespread acceptance in clinical settings within our center. In this study, we present a retrospective analysis of our institutional experience with the double micro-portal VATS lobectomy, including an assessment of the learning curve.

Methods

The cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis method was used to analyze the learning curve of 106 cases of double micro-portal VATS lobectomy for resectable lung cancer, all belonging to the same treatment group within the Department of Thoracic Surgery, the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical Unive
