Procedures included 128 lobectomies (60.4%), 41 segmentectomies (19.3%), 40 wedge resections (18.9%) and 3 extended resections (1.4%). Conversion was required in 24 patients (12.8%); 17 to multiportal surgery and 7 to thoracotomy. Major adverse events occurred in 13 patients (6.1%) and included 3 deaths (1.4%). Median hospital stay was 3\u2009days, and median chest tube duration was 2\u2009days. When comparing the early and late experience, there was no difference in hospital stay, adverse events, conversion and readmissions. The mean number of lymph nodes and nodal stations dissected were 10.08 and 4.79, respectively. The number of nodal stations dissected improved with experience (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Uniportal video-assisted lung resection is safe with good perioperative outcomes.
