%X Background and objective Complete thoracoscopic surgery has advanced, and its indication has also been extended to complex procedures. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of complete single-utility-port thoracoscopic lobectomy with rib resection. Methods A patient was diagnosed with lung cancer and single-rib metastasis. The patient received lobectomy and segment costectomy through complete single-utility-port thoracoscopic surgery. The literature was also reviewed. Results The tumor was staged at T1N1M1. The patient made an uneventful recovery and was dismissed on day 4 after surgery. At the last follow-up, the patient was alive and well, with no evidence of the disease at 18 months postoperatively. Conclusion Highly selected cases of lung cancer with single-rib metastasis are appropriate candidates for complete single-utility-port thoracoscopic resection.
