“…Of note, only one of the eight studies was a randomized controlled study and included all thoracoscopic procedures ( 13 ). Chuang et al ( 14 ) reviewed five studies comparing intubated and NIVATS lobectomy with most studies reporting comparable major perioperative outcomes. Some of these studies reported a quicker post-operative oral intake, shorter chest tube duration, shorter length of stay and fewer complications in their NIVATS groups ( 6 , 11 ).…”

“…Careful patient selection and focused multidisciplinary planning can minimize complications. The conversion rate from NIVATS to intubation for lobectomy is 2.8–10% ( 14 ), and there is no difference in the conversion rate from VATS lobectomy to thoracotomy when comparing NIVATS to VATS under general anesthesia.…”
