2 Fig 1 The percentage of lobectomies done by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) at Weill Cornell Medical College is shown between 2002 and 2013. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 A greater number of lymph nodes (LN; solid line) and nodal stations (dashed line) were excised during video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy in (A) all patients and in (B) patients at clinical (c) stage IA as the cumulative institutional surgical volume increased.

4 Fig 3 In an effort to determine the learning curve of an individual surgeon in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lymphadenectomy, we analyzed the number of lymph nodes (black line) harvested from the first 100 cases done by the most senior surgeon in our institution (N.K.A.)

5 Fig 4 Kaplan-Meier analysis of the propensity-matched groups showed no difference in disease-free survival, which was 82% in the early group (dashed line) vs 85% in the late group (solid line) at 3 years.
