Abstract

The video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach has become a standard for the treatment of early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recently published meta-analyses proved the benefit of VATS versus thoracotomy for overall survival (OS) and reduction of postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to compare early outcomes, long-term survival and rate of postoperative complications of the VATS approach versus thoracotomy.
