However, large series evaluating the results, safety and efficacy of the technique for sleeve resections are still lacking. The aim of this study was to examine our experience with the use of uniportal VATS for sleeve resections.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>From September 2014 to January 2018, a total of 79 consecutive patients were offered uniportal VATS sleeve resection for centrally located tumours invading the orifice of the lobar bronchus or extending into the main stem bronchus by a single surgical team of the Thoracic Surgery Department of the Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital. Perioperative data were collected and analysed. Survival data were collected via telephone calls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sixty-six of the 79 patients had a diagnosis of non-small-cell lung cancer, 47 of whom had squamous cell carcinoma. Twenty-one of the group with non-small-cell carcinoma were already at an advanced stage (III, IV) when operated on. The mean number of lymph node stations dissected was 5.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.97 (4\u20138) and that of lymph nodes harvested was 13.7\u2009\u00b1\u20093.7 (5\u201323). A right upper lobectomy was the most common and time-consuming procedure. There was 1 conversion to a thoracotomy due to bleeding. No anastomotic-related complications were noted. The mean length of stay was 5.14\u2009\u00b1\u20091.56 (2\u201311) days.
