Prevention and Management of Complications During Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery Lung Resection and Lymph Node Dissection

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Intraoperative events can occur during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy due to unfavorable surgical anatomy, such as dense adhesions or calcifications around the pulmonary arteries. Troubleshooting intraoperative complications is essential for performing safe and successful VATS pulmonary resection and lymph node dissection. If continuous bleeding occurs or VATS does not proceed despite all measures, conversion to open thoracotomy should not be delayed.
