Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery is increasingly being used in cancer resections. Benefits attributed to minimally invasive surgery include improved functional and oncological outcomes. In keeping with this trend, thoracoscopic lung resections are gaining acceptance amongst thoracic oncologic surgeons. As surgeons become more comfortable with these approaches, more complex resections are being performed through these techniques. This review article summarizes the current state of the art with respect to complex thoracoscopic resections.Entities:
