Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery for diagnosis and treatment of intrathoracic conditions

Michele Salati et al. Thorac Surg Clin. 2008 Aug.

Abstract

The effort to reduce the invasiveness of thoracic surgery is increasing in this specialty. In this context, preliminary evidence has shown that uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery represents a valuable option to perform different diagnostic and curative procedures. This article addresses the topic of uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery as the least invasive such approach that may be used to diagnose and treat several intrathoracic conditions.
