The First International Lung Surgery Competition was jointly hosted by AME Publishing Company and Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital. The competition was held on an international background. All the videos for the competition were judged on the basis of how effective the videos are in promoting lung surgery’s techniques. Specifically, video clips were assessed based on the following 5-point criteria.
- Operative Difficulty（20%）
- The standardization and the fluency of the operation（20%）
- Originality（20%）
- Quality of the video（20%）
