Abstract
National rates of VATS lobectomy continue to increase, particularly for thoracic surgeons, high-volume surgeons, and surgeons in the Northeast. Surgeon volume and specialty are strong independent predictors of VATS lobectomy. Efforts that support centralization of care may improve VATS lobectomy rates and decrease the regional variability identified in this analysis.
