“…Over the years, rapid progression in VATS has evolved from multiple ports (2-4 ports) to uniport (Single Port). Uniportal VATS (UniVATS) is a component of the development of VATS 12 which initially started by utilizing a uniportal approach for minor procedures (e.g., pneumothorax and wedge resections) 13 (21). In the meantime, thoracic surgeons have been able to perform increasingly complex thoracic procedures and have included this method as an extension of the conventional three or two-port VATS technique 14,15 .…”

Robotic surgery is a platform for minimally invasive thoracic surgery with similar general advantages as in VATS (Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery) including small incisions, faster recovery, minimal blood loss and shorter hospital stay. The extra advantages of using a robotic platform in thoracic surgery include a three-dimensional surgical view, elimination of physiological tremors, and enabling surgical manipulation in a natural orientation because of the presence of forceps that move in the same manner as human wrist joints. These advantages allow more complex procedures to be performed safely and easier technically, thus leading to better outcomes and improvement in the overall result. As a new advance in thoracic surgery, it has challenges that may become the reason why this technique has difficulty being adopted by a number of surgeons including cost, advancement in VATS technique and instrumentation. Despite the challenges, robotic thoracic surgery offers the platform for the expansion and improvement of thoracic surgery. Development in instrument technologies and designs, in addition to progress and interest in other futuristic technology, are notable opportunities for thoracic robotic surgery.

This chapter on novel approaches to minimally invasive thoracic surgery explores the latest techniques being utilized in thoracic surgery. It reviews anesthetic considerations including patient positioning, intraoperative monitoring, and temperature management. It also reviews commonly utilized anesthetic approaches to thoracic surgery such as general endotracheal anesthesia with lung isolation as well as nonintubated anesthesia, regional anesthetic techniques, and approaches to postoperative pain management. This chapter also provides an up-to-date review of the latest approaches being utilized for thoracic surgery including single port video assisted thoracic surgery, robot-assisted thoracic surgery, and single port robotic surgery.

Why should we prefer the single port access thoracic surgery?

Abstract: it is natural that minimally invasive thoracic surgery continues to evolve, since VATS is a never-ending story and Uniportal VATS is not the end of this history.
