Mechanical trauma occurring during pulmonary resection through both video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or thoracotomy causes profound alterations in cytokines and the cellular network. The aim of this study was to analyse biological changes occurring in both the microenvironment (wound site) and macroenvironment (systemic circulation) following pulmonary lobectomy via the VATS or thoracotomic approach.
