Methods: From 2012, we began VATS segmentectomy with 2-cm single incision in early lung cancer (T1a, tumor size Results: In the video clip, we performed a 2-cm single-incisional VATS segmentectomy for early lung cancer at left upper lobe upper divisional segment and lymph node dissection using a 5-mm thoracoscope, articulating or curved endoscopic devices. Dual localization for lung lesion could help to identify the specific location of lung lesion. The potential benefits of single-incisional VATS segmentectomy include less intercostal pain, better postoperative outcomes more over than less incisional scar. Conclusions: A single-incision VATS segmentectomy might be a feasible option for the treatment of early lung cancer in selected patients. UR - https://jovs.amegroups.org/article/view/7847
