Abstract
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery segmentectomy is a safe procedure which has fewer complications and a reduced hospital stay when compared with an open segmentectomy. This approach may be the ideal oncologic procedure for patients with small lung cancers (<2 cm) and (or) limited cardiopulmonary reserve and significant comorbidities.
