Summary
This study explores uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy techniques for lung cancer. While feasibility is reviewed, long-term outcomes compared to standard VATS require further investigation.
Area of Science:
- Thoracic Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
- Pulmonary Medicine
Background:
- Uniportal VATS segmentectomy is an evolving technique.
- Standard VATS is established for lung malignancy.
- The role of uniportal VATS in segmentectomy is under investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To detail the technical aspects of uniportal VATS segmentectomy.
- To review lesion localization and intersegmental plane identification methods.
- To assess the feasibility of uniportal VATS segmentectomy.
Main Methods:
- Review of surgical techniques for uniportal VATS segmentectomy.
- Analysis of lesion localization and intersegmental plane identification.
- Literature review and case experience compilation.
Main Results:
- Technical details for uniportal VATS segmentectomy are presented.
- Methods for lesion localization and intersegmental plane identification are suggested.
- Feasibility of the procedure is discussed based on current experience.
Conclusions:
- Uniportal VATS segmentectomy offers a minimally invasive approach.
- Further studies are needed to establish long-term results and superiority.
- The technique may be applicable to a wide range of thoracic procedures.

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...
