Abstract
Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic technique (VATS) is being increasingly adopted for the treatment of thoracic diseases, and it is therefore replacing traditional approaches. Young thoracic surgeons are now required to perform VATS anatomical resections, but a solid experience in open surgery is considered essential to face VATS lobectomy. On the other hand, open lobectomy is mostly reserved for complex cases. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the trainees’ practice on the outcome of VATS major pulmonary resections in a teaching hospital setting.
