Insufficient incision of the mediastinal pleura results in a tapered or tunnel-like operation surface, which increases the difficulty of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal lymph node dissection. The objective of this study was to report our concept of broad exposure and investigate the efficacy and safety of this concept in uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal lymph nodes dissection.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of the 204 non-small cell lung cancer patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for anatomical lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection following the concept of broad exposure.

The median chest tube duration time was 2 (range, 1\u20136) days, the median postoperative hospital duration time was 5 (range, 4\u201310) days. The median number of dissected lymph node stations and dissected lymph nodes were 8 (range,6\u20139) and 15(range,12\u201319), respectively. The median number of dissected mediastinal lymph nodes stations and dissected mediastinal lymph nodes were 5(range,3\u20136) and 11(range,10\u201315), respectively. The up-staging rate of N staging was 6.86%.
