Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was introduced nearly two decades ago. Since then, there has been a rapid development in minimal invasive techniques for lung cancer treatment. The common approach is the one performed through three incisions, including a utility incision of ~3 to 5 cm. However, lobectomy can be performed by using only two incisions (one camera port and working incision). A few clinics perform this approach. We began the two-incision technique in our institution in February 2009. After performing 95 cases with this technique, we observed that for lower lobes the second incision could be eliminated, and we performed the surgery by using only the 4-cm utility incision. This article describes a case report of a 57-year-old woman operated by this uni-incisional approach for a lower lobe video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy.

Objective The aim of this report is to summarize the experience of completely video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for pulmonary sequestration in a single center and to evaluate the long-term outcome in a larger series of patients. Methods The data of 35 pulmonary sequestrations who received completely VATS consecutively in Peking University People's Hospital between January 2008 and November 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty-three females and twelve males with an average of 38 years old were included. Results A total of 28 (80%) patients had preoperative symptoms; leading symptoms were recurrent infections (22), fever (11), hemoptysis (11), chest pain (9), and shortness of breath (4). Twenty-nine (82.9%) patients were intralobar pulmonary sequestration (22 in the left lower lobe, 6 in the right lower lobe, and 1 in the left upper lobe) and six (17.1%) patients were extralobar pulmonary sequestration. All the patients underwent VATS excision successfully, 26 underwent lobectomy, 2 underwent wedge resection, 1 underwent occlusion of the aberrant artery, and 6 underwent mass resection in all of those with extralobar pulmonary sequestration. The median surgery time and estimated blood loss was 150 (75–300) minutes and 50 (10–600) mL, respectively. There was no mortality. Only one patient suffered postoperative complication (recurrent laryngeal nerve injury). During the median follow-up period of 57 months, none of the patients presented recurrence. Conclusions Completely VATS was a safe and effective mini-invasive procedure for pulmonary sequestration in an experienced team. Its long-term outcome was remarkable.
