Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy is the recommended surgical approach for patients with stage I lung cancer. Whether a multiportal or a uniportal approach is preferable remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of implementing uniportal VATS lobectomy into the treatment program of lung cancer patients.
