Background: The aim of this single-center retrospective cohort study was to assess the impact of arterial reconstruction technique on lung perfusion. The second objective was to ascertain the functional validity of arterial sleeve lobectomy.
Method: Between January 2001 and December 2020, a total of 81 patients underwent lobectomy with pulmonary artery (PA) reconstruction for lung cancer at the University Hospital of Montpellier.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the perioperative and oncologic outcomes of thoracoscopic lobectomy for advanced stage III NSCLC. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 205 consecutive patients who underwent VATS or open lobectomy for clinical stage III lung cancer between January 2013 and December 2020. The perioperative and oncologic outcomes of the two approaches were compared.

The objectives of the present study were to identify risk factors for intraoperative conversion and to develop a predictive score.
Methods: We performed a multicentre retrospective analysis of French thoracic surgery departments that contributed data on anatomical lung resections to the Epithor database over a 10-year period (from January-2010 to December-2019).
Objectives: This article aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a hybrid video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) approach to achieve en bloc lobectomy and spinal resection for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Between October 2015 and November 2020, 10 patients underwent VATS anatomical lobectomy and en bloc chest wall and spinal resection through a limited posterior midline incision as a single operation for T4 (vertebral involvement) lung cancer. Nine patients had Pancoast syndrome without vascular involvement and 1 patient had NSCLC of the right lower lobe with invasion of T9 and T10.
