A retrospective comparative study of the safety,completeness and efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy versus open lobectomy for non-small-cell lung can-cer patients whose tumor size was greater than 5cm
Objective:To discuss the feasibility of the completely video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients whose tumor size was greater than 5 cm.Methods: From May 2001 to May 2010,564 patients with NSCLC received lobectomy in our center,of whom,114 had tumors whose diameters were larger than 5 centimeters(79 males and 35 females,their median age was 63.6 years,ranging from 29 to 81 years).We divided all the patients into two groups,group V(video-assisted thoracoscopic surg...

pathological type and stage were similar between the two groups.The operation time of group V was sig-nificantly shorter than that of group T[(208.2±57.0)min vs.(256.4±70.3)min,P=0.001].Theblood loss of group V was much less than that of group T[(269.1?
