Outcomes of Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Thoracic Emergencies

Abstract

With the increasing enthusiasm for minimally invasive techniques, many general and thoracic surgeons have renewed their interest in thoracoscopy. Over the past two decades, the use of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has expanded to treat a range of thoracic conditions that were traditionally managed through open thoracotomy. (REF). We aim to review, discuss,The role of uni-portal (VATS) in the management of thoracic emergencies. (H. Pan et al., 2024).
