VATS Lung Resection & Lobectomy

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic lobectomy for primary lung malignancies.

CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PORTAL

Surgical Clearance Protocol

This protocol details the clinical parameters, resection boundaries, and anatomical checkpoints managed during the procedure. The priority is achieving R0 (microscopically negative) margins while preserving surrounding neural and vascular structures.

Procedural Stages

Placement of thoracic ports without rib spreading.
Isolation and dissection of pulmonary artery branches, vein, and bronchus.
Division of structures using endoscopic linear staplers.
Systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection (stations 2, 4, 7, 8, 9).
