Abstract: Objective · To investigate the feasibility of single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for pulmonary sequestration. Methods · Fifteen cases with intralobar pulmonary sequestration in Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine January 2014 to December 2018 were reviewed. All the cases had underwent lobectomysingle-port VATS, including 13 cases of left lower lobectomy and 2 cases of right lower lobectomy. Results · Pleural adhesion was found in 11 of the 15 cases. Lobectomy was successfully performedsingle-port VATS in 12 cases. Three cases were transferred to multi-port VATS becaof severe pleural adhesion. There was no case conversed to thoracotomy in the study. There was no mortality and complication during the perioperative period. For the 15 cases, the operation time was (96.7±27.8) min, the bleeding volume was (75.3±45.5) mL, the postoperative intubation was (5.2±2.0) d and the postoperative hospital stay was (6.2±2.2) d. Conclusion · Single-port VATS treatment for pulmonary sequestration is safe, effective and feasible.
