Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery without tracheal intubation is an evolving technique to provide a safe alternative with less short-term complication and faster postoperative recovery. The purpose of this review was to explore the latest developments and future prospects of nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery for early lung cancer. Methods: We examined various techniques and surgical procedures as well as the outcomes and benefits. Results: The results indicated a new era of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in which there is reduced procedure-related injury and enhanced postoperative recovery for lung cancer. Conclusions: Nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery is a safe and feasible minimally invasive alternative surgery for early non-small cell lung cancer. Faster recovery and less short-term complication are potential benefits of this approach.enAnesthesiaAwake thoracoscopic surgeryNon-small cell lung cancerNonintubated thoracoscopic surgeryVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery[SDGs]SDG3journal article10.1007/s11748-019-01220-5316052862-s2.0-85074619261WOS:000492234700001https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/480983
