| Abstrakt: | The use of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has become a mainstay of modern-day thoracic oncology practice and the technique of choice for resection of early-stage lung cancers at many institutions. The feasibility of VATS lobectomy has long been well established, and there is considerable belief that it leads to better patient outcomes. In the following review we seek to summarize the current experience with VATS lobectomy, identify the strengths and weaknesses of the available literature, and address future areas of research for our field.
