Objective To discuss the experiences of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty for lung cancer, using only two incisions. Method We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 16 patients of VATS sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty in our hospital between January 2013 and January 2014. There were 14 males and 2 females at age of 55 (39-70) years. The clinical effect was analyzed. Results The patients underwent sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty were no severe postoperative complications. Median operative time was 183 min. Median bronchial anastomosis time was 39 min. Median blood loss was 170 ml. The result of pathological examination showed 11 patients with squamous cell carcinomas and 5 patients with adenocarcinoma. Median postoperative chest tube drainage duration was 4.5 days. Median hospital stay was 6.9 days. Conclusion VATS sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty is a feasible and safe surgical approach, using only two incisions.
