Abstract
The exact role of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) pneumonectomy in lung cancer management is still uncertain and requires both clinical and laboratory investigation. Nagai and colleagues [1] have reported on a retrospective review of their 12-year experience with VATS pneumonectomy. Forty-seven consecutive patients were carefully selected for this minimally invasive resection based on preoperative features and thoracoscopic determination of the feasibility of the procedure. Their low conversion rate (2.1%), mortality rate (2.2%), and major morbidity rate (15.2%) deserve commendation.
