title: [An approach to lobectomy under a thoracoscopic surgery].
abstract: Lobectomy under a thoracoscope is a minimally invasive surgery and full consideration must also be given to the length of access thoracotomy and the number of access ports inserted. On the other hand, securing a full visual field within a limited access and treating the pulmonary artery/vein and bronchus safely and for sure are needed. However, it would not be too much to say that the easiness of lobectomy under a thoracoscope depends on the length of access thoracotomy and the number of access ports inserted. In the experiment this time we discussed an approach to the access area in lobectomy under a thoracoscope in our cases.
