Single-port thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery

  The development of minimally invasive lumpectomy in the field of thoracic surgery is many years later compared to other surgical fields. It is only in the last three years that minimally invasive lumpectomy for radical lung cancer surgery has been recognized by the majority of thoracic surgeons. Since radical lung cancer surgery requires free cutting of large blood vessels near the heart such as pulmonary artery, the operation is very risky and requires very delicate operation to ensure the safety of the surgery. Therefore, thoracoscopic surgery is not fully carried out in the thoracic surgery departments of most hospitals at present. However, the technology of thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery has developed quite fast, from the initial 4 holes, 3 holes, 2 holes to the current single hole, and the surgical trauma has been reduced to the minimum. However, the operation is getting bigger and bigger, and the technical requirements are getting higher and higher.
