Abstract: Background and objective Complete thoracoscopic surgery has advanced, and its indication has also been extended to complex procedures. hTe aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of complete single-utility-port tho-racoscopic lobectomy with rib resection. Methods A patient was diagnosed with lung cancer and single-rib metastasis. hTe patient received lobectomy and segment costectomy through complete single-utility-port thoracoscopic surgery. hTe literature was also reviewed. Results hTe tumor was staged at T1N1M1. hTe patient made an uneventful recovery and was dismissed on day 4 atfer surgery. At the last follow-up, the patient was alive and well, with no evidence of the disease at 18 months postop-eratively. Conclusion Highly selected cases of lung cancer with single-rib metastasis are appropriate candidates for complete single-utility-port thoracoscopic resection.
