Comparative study of the anatomic segmentectomy versus lobectomy for clinical stage I _A peripheral lung cancer by video assistant thoracoscopic surgery

Abstract

For stage I(A) peripheral lung cancer, the thoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomy was safe and effective just as thoracoscopic lobectomy, and furthermore with faster post-operative recovery.

A propensity score matching analysis of survival following segmentectomy or wedge resection in early-stage lung invasive adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma

“…The RCT by LCSG was criticized by some as it included tumors 2-3 cm in size [ 2 ]. Some subsequent studies suggested that sublobar resection was a reasonable alternative for stage I lung cancer ≤ 2 cm in size [ 3 - 5 , 16 - 18 ]. Based on these findings, there are two ongoing trials (JCOG0802 [ 19 ] and CALGB 140503) comparing sublobectomy to lobectomy in stage I ≤ 2 cm lung cancer.…”

Effect of segmental versus lobectomy in minimally invasive surgery on postoperative wound complications in lung cancer patients: A meta‐analysis

“…Recently, a lot of large-scale studies have been published on this subject, and we have been able to perform an integrated meta-analyses of early-stage pulmonary carcinoma with lobectomy and partial sectioning. 4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the use of partial pulmonary resectioning, particularly partial resection, to treat early-stage NSCLC. Partial excision preserves pulmonary tissue and provides significant protective pulmonary function; 18,19 Furthermore, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was the preferred method of operation, which resulted in fewer postoperative pain and shorter hospitalization times than open-chest surgery.…”

“…The issue of whether partial excision should be considered as an alternative for the treatment of refractory cases, or the superiority of lobectomy over partial resection, is still an open question. Recently, a lot of large‐scale studies have been published on this subject, and we have been able to perform an integrated meta‐analyses of early‐stage pulmonary carcinoma with lobectomy and partial sectioning 4,9–17 …”
