Complete Uniportal Thoracoscopic Anatomic Lung Resection With Systematic Mediastinal Lymphadenectomy for Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: Personal Experience of 326 Cases

Conclusions: Complete uniportal ALR, particularly for segmentectomy and lobectomy is safe and feasible with low complication rates and excellent free resection margin rates. SML during complete uniportal thoracoscopic surgery adequately assesses the N2 lymph node. However, further studies need to be conducted to evaluate the role of CUT-ALR-SML in the treatment of NSCLC.
