Uniportal thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy provides good perioperative results and early postoperative recovery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy has become widespread, the advantage of uniportal VATS (U-VATS) segmentectomy over multiportal VATS (M-VATS) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to verify the safety and usefulness of U-VATS segmentectomy compared with conventional hybrid/multiportal segmentectomy.

Methods

Here, we retrospectively reviewed the data from anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy cases in a single institution from March 2010 to March 2021. Patients were divided into the U-VATS and hybrid/multiportal VATS (H/M-VATS) groups. Perioperative results were compared between the groups after matching for patient background characteristics. In addition, cases of complex segmentectomy were selected from each group and
