Abstract

A systematic review and meta-analysis to help define the optimal approach for lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer was undertaken. Articles comparing thoracotomy (open), multi-port Video-assisted thoracic surgery (mVATS), robotic VATS (rVATS), and uniportal VATS (uVATS) were scrutinized and evidence-based statements using the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association clinical practice guideline recommendations made.1 A total of 145 studies met the inclusion criteria and the following 15 evidence-based statements achieved consensus.2 The statements are as follows.
