Efficacy of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy using the three-dimensional endoscopic system for lung cancer

Objective We aimed to investigate the efficacy of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (cVATS) lobectomy using the three-dimensional (3D) endoscopic system in patients with lung cancer and compare it with that of cVATS lobectomy using the conventional two-dimensional (2D) endoscopic system in former consecutive cases.
