Primary enteric adenocarcinoma is a rare variant of primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma. This disease lacks a distinctive manifestation and often requires pathological examination to make a definite diagnosis. A male patient visited the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University for consistent cough and sputum production for about 1 year. Anti-infection therapy was given but it showed ineffectiveness. Enteric adenocarcinoma was diagnosed after percutaneous lung biopsy according to pathological findings. Combining this case with relevant literature, we summarized the characteristics to raise physicians' awareness for this rare subtype.

Video-assisted pulmonary lobectomy was introduced in the early 1990's by several authors, and the frequency of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for lung cancer has been slowly increasing because of its safety and oncologic acceptability in patients with early stage lung cancer. However, VATS is limited by 2D imaging, an unsteady camera platform, and limited maneuverability of its instruments. The da Vinci Surgical System was recently introduced to overcome these limitations. It has a 3D endoscopic system with high resolution and magnified binocular views and EndoWrist instruments. We report three cases of da Vinci robot system-assisted pulmonary lobectomy in patients with early stage lung cancer.

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive technique that has many advantages in postoperative pain and recovery time. Because of its advantages, VATS is one of the surgical techniques widely used in patients with lung cancer. Most surgeons perform VATS for lung cancer with three or more incisions. As the technique of VATS has evolved, single-port VATS for lung cancer has been attempted and its advantages have been reported. We describe our experiences of VATS for lung cancer with a single incision in this report.

Surgical operation is one of the significant parts of the comprehensive therapeutic methods of lung cancer. In the history of the development of lung cancer operation, scholars and predecessors at home and abroad have gradually established the current status of lung cancer operation and the framework of comprehensive treatment after continuous understanding of local anatomy of lung, continuous innovation of surgical equipment and continuous reform of surgical methods. In the continuous development and improvement of lung cancer surgical diagnosis and treatment procedures, a set of standardized diagnosis and treatment process of lung cancer screening, early diagnosis and treatment, standardized surgery process, rapid perioperative recovery, postoperative adjuvant treatment and follow-up has been formed. The achievements of lung cancer operation are achieved by scholars standing on the shoulders of giants. In the process of pioneering and innovating, we should go back and review the road that our predecessors have taken, and draw energy from it to continue to create new brilliance in lung cancer operation. In this paper, the evolution history of lung cancer surgery is summarized in order to improve the clinician's understanding of the history of lung cancer surgery.

Presented in this study were three cases of lung cancer undergoing pulmonary venoplasty. In the 3 patients with central type of carcinoma of lung involving pulmonary vein, the main branch of right superior pulmonary vein and the distal end of the superior-lobe vein were occluded. The root part of the vein of right-middle lobe, plus part of vessel of of right superior vein was resected. The right superior vein was reconstructed by continuous 6-0 Prolene sutures. After the operation, the reconstructed was patent and the surgical margin was tumor-free. Postoperatively, clinical manifestations and plain chest films did not show any signs of venous blockade. The patients were discharged healed 3 weeks after the operation. The technical details of the surgery were presented, the improvements on the basis of traditional methods were discussed and its clinical application was evaluated. It is concluded that pulmonary venoplasty is a safe and feasible operation. Further improvement of the surgery will help conserve more lung tissue and benefit more patients because of expanded indications.

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.
