Objectives: This study aims to compare the outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy with open thoracotomy lobectomy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: There were 269 cases with NSCLC who underwent lobectomy between 2017-2019; these cases were retrospectively studied. VATS lobectomy (VATS Group) and open thoracotomy lobectomy (Thoracotomy Group) patients' results were compared according to the length of hospitalizations, early postoperative complications and tumor size and stages.

Purpose: Lung cancer is one of the major sources of mortality in the elderly. This study was undertaken to assess the early and long-term results of surgical resection in patients older than 70 years of age by comparing the results of patients aged 70-79 years (group 1) with patients older than 80 years of age (group 2).
