Abstract
We described a 55-year-old male smoking patient, who came to our institute with the diagnosis of a right upper lobe lesion. Computed tomographic (CT) guided biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. The preoperative clinical diagnosis was stage I primary lung adenocarcinoma. The standard three-port video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery (VATS) was performed in this case. After the resection of the right upper lobe, the 2(nd), 4(th), and 7(th) groups of lymphatic nodes were removed with Harmonic scalpel. A closed drainage catheter was placed adjacent to the lateral chest wall through the port in the 7th intercostal space. Postoperative pathologic diagnosis was T2aN0M0 adenocarcinoma.
