Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) bronchoplasty is an advanced surgical technique for central airway cancers. This paper details the author's experience with three main types of VATS bronchoplasty, illustrated with cases and videos.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) bronchoplasty is a specialized technique.
  • It is indicated for cancers involving the central airways.
  • Requires advanced endoscopic suturing and tying skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the author's experience with VATS bronchoplasty.
  • To illustrate different types of bronchoplasty based on cancer extent.
  • To provide case and video examples of the technique.

Main Methods:

  • Description of author's experience with VATS bronchoplasty.
  • Classification of bronchoplasty into three types based on bronchial involvement.
  • Use of case studies and video illustrations.
