  Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility and limitations of video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy (VAMLA) followed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. VATS lobectomy alone or following VAMLA is feasible and can be done with an acceptable safety profile under the hands of specialized, highly trained and cooperating team working in a high volume center treating patients with lung cancer. VAMLA followed by VATS lobectomy allowed the excision of more lymph nodes compared to the VATS approach alone, suggesting that VAMLA is a good adjuvant to VATS lobectomy for complete radical mediastinal lymphadenectomy for the surgical cure of non-small cell lung cancer patients. ..
