Abstract
In 1992, Lewis et al. first reported thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer in order to reduce the surgical stress [1]. Since then, thoracoscopic surgery has rapidly expanded. In 2015, according to the annual report by The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery, 64.4% of lung cancer surgery and 61.7% of lobectomy were performed by thoracoscopy [2]. Meanwhile, advances in imaging equipment have increased the detection of small-sized lung cancer. Because definitive diagnosis of small lesions is less likely to be obtained preoperatively, a partial resection of the lesion is often performed to confirm the diagnosis with rapid pathologic examination during the course of surgery, followed by additional pulmonary resection.
