Evolution and Development Trend of Lung Cancer Surgical IncisionDOI: : 10.3779/j.issn.1009-3419.2016.06.08 Keywords: Lung neoplasms, Surgical incisions, Video-assisted thoracic surgery, Single-port VATS Abstract: Minimally invasive, safe and tumor-free are the main principles of the choice of surgical incision in lung cancer surgery. In recent years, with the advances in minimally invasive techniques, single-port video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), robot-assisted thoracoscopic (RATS), suboxiphoid single-port VATS, simultaneous bilateral VATS pulmonary resection, are emerging approaches, single-port VATS has become one of the most exciting new developments in minimally invasive thoracic surgery in recent years. This paper reviews the evolution and trends of surgical incision in lung cancer surgery.
