Purpose: To compare the short-term effect of anatomic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy and VATS lobectomy. Patients methods: From January 2011 to December 2012, 21 patients underwent 61 Intraoperative blood loss, operating time, postoperative drainage length hospital stay, complications, local recurrence, survival were compared between two groups. Results: The intraoperative loss average stay less in group than lobectomy ( P <0.05). There was no significant difference number lymph nodes dissected, or 1-year groups >0.05). Only one patient died because heart disease. had a similar incidence complications (4.8%) recurrence after (3.3%) Conclusion: could be performed safely is method with favorable survival. It may ideal surgical procedure for solitary pulmonary nodules early stage lung cancer, especially those limited cardiopulmonary reserve comorbidities.
