Abstract
Video-assisted thoracic surgery segmentectomy can be performed with acceptable morbidity, mortality, recurrence, and survival. The video-assisted thoracic surgery approach affords a shorter length of stay and fewer postoperative pulmonary complications compared with open techniques. The potential benefits and limitations of segmentectomy will need to be further evaluated by prospective, randomized trials.
