This study aimed to compare the short and long-term survival outcomes between video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open resection of lung metastases from @entity14 . Between January 2006 and January 2013, 57 @entity1 underwent VATS of lung metastases from @entity14 . These @entity1 were compared with a consecutive matched group of 57 @entity1 who underwent open resection within the same period. The two groups were similar in terms of age, gender, @entity5 size, number of @entity5 , @entity5 laterality and type of pulmonary resections. The operative time was longer in the VATS group, but the estimated @entity190 was less in the VATS group than in the open group. Postoperative 30-day mortality, 30-day complications were similar between the groups. More complications were classified as major in @entity1 underwent open resection, though the difference was not significant (P = 0.297). The 5-year overall survival rate was 50% for VATS and 46% for open resection (P = 0.251). The 5-year overall disease-free survival time was similar in two groups (P = 0.457). The findings suggest that VATS is associated with less @entity190 than open resection for lung metastases of @entity14 . According to our results, VATS for lung metastases from @entity14 is equivalent to open resection in terms of long-term survival outcomes.
