2. Fig 1
Case volume for open, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and robotic pulmonary resections (2008 to 2010). Percentages indicate the proportion of cases per year performed by a given approach. (A) Open procedures; dark bars indicate open segmentectomy, and light bars indicate open lobectomy. (B) VATS procedures; dark bars indicate VATS segmentectomy, and light bars indicate VATS lobectomy and (C) robotic procedures. Dark bars indicate robotic segmentectomy, and light bars indicate robotic lobectomy. Note that data from only 5 states were available for 2010.
