【 摘 要 】

First, I would like to express my gratitude for being given an opportunity to write an editorial on the paper titled “Non-intubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: lobectomy and systemic lymph node dissection” by Wang et al. (1). As can be observed in the video, they performed a very clean surgery involving the proper usage of an ultrasonic scalpel to achieve adequate lymph node dissection. I especially respect that they performed this surgery in safe conditions under local anesthesia without endotracheal intubation.
