Abstract
Our study shows that the most significant costs associated with VATS lobectomies relate to operating room time, stapler use, floor charges, and cost associated with complications. Cost-reducing strategies will need to concentrate on optimizing operating room times and reducing length of stay while simultaneously minimizing complications.
