Description

<p>We have performed uniportal VATS (U-VATS) since its introduction in November 2018. The aim of this study was to analyze the short-term results of U-VATS compared with multiport VATS (M-VATS). Forty-one patients with primary lung cancer underwent U-VATS anatomical pulmonary resections between November 2018 and April 2019, and 33 patients underwent M-VATS anatomical pulmonary resections between May and October 2018. The two groups were similar in terms of clinicopathological features. U-VATS led to a significantly shorter operative time (126 vs. 152 min, respectively) and less postoperative pain (NRS 0 vs. 2, respectively) than with the M-VATS approach. There was no significant difference in blood loss, drainage duration, complications, or number of dissected lymph nodes on comparing U-VATS vs. M-VATS. U-VATS is a feasible and safe approach, and may be a less invasiveness alternative to M-VATS because of its effectiveness to reduce the operative time and postoperative pain.</p>
