Background: Conventional video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a feasible and safe in high-volume centers with significant VATS experience. Uniportal has been recently reported to be promising, less invasive approach. The purpose of this study explore the safety feasibility uniportal (U-VATS) treatment patients NSCLC.
