Objective To explore the feasibility and short-term efficacy of uniportal and three-port single-direction video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (S-VATS) anatomical lobectomy for lung cancer.Methods Clinical data of 60 lung cancer patients, including 40 males and 20 females with an average age of 62.2±9.0 years, who received S-VATS anatomic lobectomy and systematic lymph nodes dissection by the same surgeon in our hospital between July 2016 and January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into a uniportal S-VATS group and a three-port S-VATS group according to surgical procedures, with 30 patients in each group. The clinical data of the two groups were compared.Results There was no conversion to thoracotomy, surgical port addition, or mortality in this cohort, with tumor-negative surgical margin. There was no statistical difference in the operation time between the two groups (70.8±16.4 min vs. 73.7±14.3 min, P>0.05). Meanwhile, both groups showed similar intraoperative blood loss, stations and numbers of dissected lymph nodes, incidence of operation-related complications, duration and volume of chest tube drainage, as well as postoperative hospital stay (P>0.05). Besides, pain score of the patients in the uniportal S-VATS group was significantly lower than that of the three-port S-VATS group on postoperative 3-14 d (P<0.05). The mean duration of follow-up was 10 months, and all the patients were survived without tumor recurrence or metastasis.Conclusion The transition from three-port S-VATS to uniportal S-VATS anatomical lobectomy for treatment of lung cancer is feasible. However, further studies are needed to elucidate the optimal resection sequence of pulmonary vessels.
