Minimally invasive chest wall stabilization: a novel surgical approach to video-assisted rib plating (VARP) [PDF]
Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open, 2019 The current morbidity of rib plating is due to the size of the incision required to perform an open procedure. We describe a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach to rib plating. A cadaver model was used to develop the surgical technique by performing
