“…Recently, Shigemura et al [103] demonstrated that even the effectiveness of thoracoscopic mediastinal lymph node dissection could be compared, and was in accordance with similar previously reported results [74,76,101].…”

“…Thus, despite the large series published, and although there are no prospective randomized studies comparing survival after open and thoracoscopic surgery, there is no evidence to support a difference. In their opinion, and according to published series of extensive experience with thoracoscopic lobectomy reporting stage-specific survival, this was proven to be at least equivalent to that seen in historical series [74,76,85,[101][102][103].…”

The VATS approach is presently used in many intrathoracic disorders, but while well established in benign chest disease, its role continues to evolve regarding the management of lung cancer. It is currently considered for the evaluation and treatment of suspected (or known) pleural effusion and in the diagnosis of indeterminate pulmonary nodules, and it has a complementary role to standard cervical mediastinoscopy in the invasive staging of mediastinal lymph nodes. It has also become an accepted approach for resection of peripheral early-stage lung cancer (stage I) in many centers worldwide and considerable experience has been accumulated in respect to this field, but absolute indications have yet to be firmly defined. This paper reviews indications and current data regarding minimally invasive approaches for the staging and treatment of lung cancer.

“…The field has moved from the traditional extensive thoracotomy to a minimally invasive video-based approach for a wide array of pathologies with improved results, shorter hospital stays, less pain and reduced costs (1)(2)(3)(4). VATS technique reduced surgical trauma and maintains the same oncological principles of traditional open procedures (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery: the Middle East experience

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: The application of uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for both minor and major thoracic procedures is gaining widespread use across the globe. Believing its advantages, both in superb surgical results and less morbidity, our center has the privilege to be one of the first centers in the Middle East to introduce this surgical technique into our standard practice. This study presents our initial Results: The mean age of patients was 49.6 years, and 72 patients were females (37%). Thirty-five (18.2%) patients underwent anatomical resections with conversion to thoracotomy in three patients (8%). Six (3%) patients had air leak >4 days. The average chest drain duration was 3.25 days. The average length of stay was 4.2 days.Postoperative pain level was low in the first 4 days following the surgery and 30 days mortality was 0%.Conclusions: Uniportal VATS surgery is a safe and established technique with a minimal invasive thoracic surgery. Excellent results with minimal morbidity, short hospital stay and low postoperative pain are amongst its strong points. Thoracic surgeons experienced in thoracic surgical approaches can safely perform uniportal VATS.

“…In the early 1990s, with the beginning with the development of minimally invasive surgeries, Roviero used the thoracoscope for the first complete pulmonary resection without resorting to conventional surgery, thus announcing the beginning of a new era in thoracic surgery [2]. As a natural development within this field, attempts began to reduce the surgical trauma more and more, instead of four wounds to conduct the operation surgeons began to perform operations through three or two surgical incisions [3,4]. Yamamoto was the first to think of using a single intercostal incision to perform simple thoracic operations with reporting a small series [5], followed by Rocco, who proved that this technique was feasible and safe [6].…”
