Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery: the Middle East experience

Abstract: 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… Show more

“…In practical applications, the mean filtering method is simple to operate. Compared with other filtering methods, it has better processing speed and can effectively suppress surrounding noise [ 23 , 24 ]. However, in the process of filtering, the useful details of the target are weakened with the filtering.…”

“…Se ha publicado poco sobre el uso de VATS monopuerto en decorticación pulmonar y pleurectomía, a pesar de que cada vez se ha adaptado más para el manejo de derrames pleurales recurrentes no complicados, estadificación preoperatoria en cáncer de pulmón, tratamiento de neumotórax espontáneo, e incluso para resecciones pulmonares anatómicas complejas 7 . Un número creciente de centros ha informado de su experiencia con VATS monopuerto en desbridamiento y decorticación para empiema, junto con otros procedimientos menores, como biopsias pleurales y resecciones en cuña, que representan la mayor parte de su serie de casos 8 .…”

“…Some researchers advocate for the use of VATS as the most appropriate method for peripheral aspergillosis without hilum infiltration, as it offers several benefits to patients, including reduced postoperative complications, decreased chest pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays 13 , 14 . In 2010, Gonzalez-Rivas reported the first Uni-VATS lobectomy 15 , and since then, this surgical technique has gained acceptance in Asia and Europe 16 18 . Several studies have highlighted the benefits of the Uni-VATS approach, including a direct view from a sagittal plane, enhanced anatomic instrumentation, and improved exposure of the superior hilum during surgery.…”
