Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery Major Pulmonary Resections
Video-Assisted Thoracic major pulmonary resections (VMPR) such as lobectomy, pneumonectomy and segmentectomy are rarely performed procedures, but steadily growing in popularity. Less than 4% of all lobectomies performed in the United Kingdom (UK)1 and less than 5% in the United States [1] and Europe [2] are performed this way. The surgeon’s knack, personal preference, and convictions about what...

متن کاملNon-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resections: the future of thoracic surgery?
Thanks to the experience gained through the improvement of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) technique, and the enhancement of surgical instruments and high-definition cameras, most pulmonary resections can now be performed by minimally invasive surgery. The future of the thoracic surgery should be associated with a combination of surgical and anaesthetic evolution and improvements to...
متن کاملUniportal thoracoscopic surgery: from medical thoracoscopy to non-intubated uniportal video-assisted major pulmonary resections.
The development of thoracoscopy has more than one hundred years of history since Jacobaeus described the first procedure in 1910. He used the thoracoscope to lyse adhesions in tuberculosis patients. This technique was adopted throughout Europe in the early decades of the 20(th) century for minor and diagnostic procedures. It is only in the last two decades that interest in minimally invasive th...
متن کاملThree-dimensional video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in major lung resection
Thoracoscopic surgery has been potentiated by advances in technology since it was first embarked upon in the early 20th century. A review of the literature pertinent to the use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed. There is little high-quality data available on this topic. Current evidence supports non-inferiority of 3D over conventional two-di...
