This article assesses the outcomes of segmentectomy versus lobectomy in treating peripheral, early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. In a multicenter study involving 674 patients, the authors compared overall survival (OS), lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS), and disease-free survival (DFS) between the two groups.

Current guidelines advocate for surgically placed intercoastal catheters (ICC) for pain optimization following minimally invasive anatomic lung resection. This double-blind, randomized study aimed to determine the efficacy of loco-regional continuous ropivacaine application through ICC as a method of providing analgesia postoperatively.

This retrospective study evaluated using nonstapling bullectomy via manual suturing as an alternative to traditional staple bullectomy in reducing the recurrence rate of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) in young male patients. The authors utilized hybrid VATS (hVATS) with a one-port-one-window approach for manual suturing.
