Video assisted thoracic surgery

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1993
Using video thoracoscopic techniques in 30 patients over a twelve month period we have been able to perform 33 procedures that would have been previously performed by thoracotomy, with its associated morbidity. We have found the applications of this procedure to be diverse, being both diagnostic (n = 16) and therapeutic (n = 17).

Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery for Bronchiectasis

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2011
Bronchiectasis is one of the common diseases diagnosed in the world. No major improvement for the treatment approaches and limited efficacy promote a big challenge for management of this disease. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) offers a new choice for the treatment of bronchiectasis.

Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery

DeckerMed Surgery, 2016
Since the early 1990s, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has revolutionized surgical care. The era of VATS is sufficiently mature that enough data have accrued to compare the efficacy of VATS with that of open procedures. In this regard, anatomic pulmonary resection by VATS has led to significant reductions in morbidity, mortality, and ...
