We show that every tight contact structure on any of the lens spaces L(ns(2)-s+1, s(2)) with n >= 2 and s >= 1 can be obtained by a single Legendrian surgery along a suitable Legendrian realisation of the negative torus knot T (s,-(sn - 1)) in the tight or an overtwisted contact structure on the 3-sphere.
