Hybrid video-assisted thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy: an elegant minimally invasive technique for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer

[摘要] In their published case report in the Journal of Thoracic Disease, Dr. Zhang and colleagues presented an interesting case, “Hybrid video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery sleeve lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer: a case report” (1). The authors of this article described a hybrid technique for performing a complex bronchial sleeve resection and arterioplasty for a patient with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of the right upper lobe with invasion into the right mainstem bronchus. The patient had previously undergone two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for N2 disease and, per report, required partial right mainstem bronchus resection along with arterioplasty to achieve a complete resection.
