Abstract
The modern video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy demands disposable consumable endoscopic linear cutter and stapler devices for anastamosis. These pieces are associated with additional high medical costs which makes the procedure less affordable by patients. Here we have developed a new knotting method,“twining high-tension knot” to seal and cut off the bronchus and vessels instead of endoscopic staplers that can omit the use of these expensive pieces，we call it “Low-cost VATS lobectomy”.The purpose of this study is to compared the safety and cost of low-cost VATS lobectomy and regular VATS lobectomy.
