    AbstractNonintubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy to treat lung cancer has gained attention in recent decades, but there is very little literature on this topic. This review aims to explore the state-of-the-art, recent progress, and future prospects of this method. Its feasibility and safety have been demonstrated, and its potential benefits are faster postoperative recovery and fewer intubation-related complications. Nonintubated VATS lobectomy is a feasible and safe alternative for lung cancer treatment. This work provides information for those who would like to start using this technique and want a more comprehensive understanding of nonintubated VATS lobectomy.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
