Abstract
A method of video-assisted thoracic surgical (VATS) right upper lobectomy with bronchus-first
and simultaneous vessel stapling will be introduced. In this study, all cases underwent
two-port VATS as follows: first, the right upper lobe bronchus was identified and
stapled; then, all right upper lobe vessels were stapled simultaneously. This method
was performed in 50 cases. There was no surgical mortality, hemorrhage, vascular injuries,
or conversion. This technique can reduce wound size and operative time and make the
operation safer and easier to accomplish.
