Potentially: Depending on location, quite possibly. Vats and robotic techniques can be used for numerous thoracic surgical procedures.

Potentially: Depends on the anatomic position. If not involving the airway or "wind pipe" then can be removed by either a wedge, segmentectomy or lobectomy, if indicated, via vats.
