Risk factors and cancer recurrence associated with postoperative complications after thoracoscopic lobectomy for clinical stage I non ‐small cell lung cancer
ConclusionsAdvanced age and pleural adhesion were independent risk factors for complications after complete single ‐lobe thoracoscopic lobectomies for clinical stage I NSCLC, and postoperative complications were statistically associated with poor prognosis. Surgical teams should ensure an experienced surgeon leads the operation for patients at higher risk to avoid prolonged postoperative hospitalization and a possible poor prognosis.
