Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery offers a minimally invasive approach for thoracic disorders, providing benefits like reduced pain and shorter hospital stays. This review highlights its surgical and anesthetic aspects based on recent literature.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is increasingly used for thoracic conditions.
  • Traditional open thoracotomy or sternotomy methods are being replaced by VATS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the surgical and anesthetic considerations of VATS.
  • To emphasize recent advancements and published articles on VATS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recently published articles on VATS.
  • Analysis of surgical techniques and anesthetic management in VATS.

Main Results:

  • VATS offers advantages over open procedures, including less postoperative pain.
  • Reduced operative complications and shorter hospital stays are key benefits.

  • Cost reduction is another significant advantage of VATS.

    • Conclusions:

    • VATS is a viable and advantageous alternative for diagnosing and treating thoracic disorders.
    • Further research and adoption of VATS are supported by current evidence.
