Optimizing peripheral lung nodule resection: benefits of CO 2 -infused micro-port VATS over single-port VATS
Key Points
This research aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of CO2-infused micro-port VATS for resecting peripheral lung nodules compared to single-port VATS.
Compared CO2-infused micro-port VATS to single-port VATS.
Assessed the safety and feasibility of each technique.
Focused on outcomes related to wedge resection of peripheral lung nodules.
CO2-infused micro-port VATS demonstrated comparable safety to single-port VATS.
Feasibility of using CO2-infused techniques for wedge resection was supported.
Abstract
CO2-MP-VATS is safe and feasible for peripheral lung nodules wedge resection compared to SP-VATS.
