| dc.description.abstract | This editorial discusses the fissure-less fissure-last and single-direction thoracoscopic techniques for performing upper and lower lobectomies using video-assisted thoracic surgery. The authors analyze technical advantages, limitations, and safety considerations, emphasizing that surgical approaches should be tailored according to fissure completeness, anatomy, and intraoperative findings. The article highlights the importance of surgical flexibility and anatomical knowledge to optimize patient outcomes and reduce postoperative complications such as prolonged air leakage. | |
