Background. Major pulmonary resection with systematic node dissection (SAD) for early lung cancer by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is Performed in many institutes, but the feasibility of SAD for early lung cancer by VATS remains controversial. The aim of this study was to elucidate the feasibility and safety of SND by VATS.Methods. Three hundred fifty Patients with clinical stage I lung cancer who underwent pulmonary major resection with SND between 1998 and 2003 were enrolled in this study. Of these patients, 191 (VATS group) underwent pulmonary resection with SAD by VATS; 159 patients (open thoracotomy [OT] group) did so through anterolateral thoracotomy. The clinical and pathologic data, including the number of dissected nodes in each nodal station, of the 2 groups were compared to evaluate the feasibility of SAD by VATS.Results. Pathologic data showed that, in the VATS group, more patients had adenocarcinoma (P = .0078) and fewer patients had advanced factors than the OT group. The greatest tumor diameter was 24.5 mm and 29.6 mm in the VATS group and OT group, respectively (P
