Video-assisted thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy via a single intercostal space three-port approach: Case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Video-assisted thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy is safe and feasible for lung cancer. We describe a case of video-assisted thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy via a novel single intercostal space (SIC) three-port approach.

Conclusions

This case demonstrates that a SIC three-port thoracoscopic approach is effective in sleeve lobectomy, and possesses potential advantages in perioperative pain management and rehabilitation.
