“…Based on this concept that there should be a pressure difference between the intra-alveolar pressure and the atmospheric pressure, Sauerbruch, still an assistant of von Mikulicz, developed the negative pressure chamber [8]-a genius idea, but quite unpractical. Only two of these operation theaters were built worldwide, one in Germany and the other one in the German Hospital (today the Lenox-Hill hospital) in New York where the surgeon Willy Meyer, emigrated to the USA from Germany in 1884, added a small positive pressure chamber over the patients head in 1909, this was called the super chamber but it was never clinically used [10]. Willy Meyer would become one of the founding fathers of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) in 1918.…”

“…Recognizing that this was an enormous step forward, Meltzer was invited to become the first president of the AATS. In a speech delivered at the founding meeting of the AATS, Willy Meyers stated: "The thorax was the last fortress to be attacked and it has been laid open safely to the surgeon's knife" [10].…”

In this chapter, a historical overview as well as an overview of state of the art of the surgical techniques for the treatment of lung cancer is outlined. The chapter focuses on the introduction of open surgery, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), uniportal VATS (UVATS), and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) techniques for lung resections. A short introduction on upcoming techniques and modalities is given. The currently available tools as three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT), virtual reality, and endo-bronchial surgery will be discussed. Based on the current development, this chapter attempts to delineate the horizon of oncological lung surgery. The information is generated not only from the available literature, but also from the experiences of surgeons and other physicians as well as co-workers involved in lung cancer treatment around the world. This chapter can be seen as a general introduction to several aspects of oncological lung surgery.
