With the change of the spectrum of disease, the incidence and mortality of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been high in global scale, since surgical intervention was applied to treat lung cancer, its status is increasing day by day, at present comprehensive treatment leaded by surgery has become the preferred scheme for NSCLC, there are many different kinds of surgical approaches and operation methods of disease, and the new technologies appear constantly, the paper aim to summarize the research progress of different operationmethods and surgical approach. With the development of software and hardware technology and the concept of minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery was received by more people, minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery has brought more benifit than traditional thoracotomy for lung cancer patients, minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery reserve more lung tissue and improve the survival quality of patients due to better pulmonary function, we believe that minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery can bring more benefits to people with surgical indications and surgical procedure further standardization.
