Can a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule With Positive PET Scan in a Heavy Smoker be Something Other Than Lung Cancer? A Case Report of Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in a heavy smoker patient is commonly considered a lung cancer. However, in endemic regions, differential diagnosis should include pulmonary hydatid cyst. We present a 65‐year‐old heavy smoker male with a 5 cm SPN. He had negative serology, and inconclusive PET‐CT. So, it mimicked malignancy.

Subxiphoid uniportal thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy for stage I non‐small cell lung cancer: Feasibility, quality of life and financial worthiness

Thoracic Cancer, 2020
Background Subxiphoid uniportal video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SVATS) is more technically challenging than intercostal uniportal video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS), especially in more complex procedures such as segmentectomy.

Geometrical characteristics of uniportal VATS.

Journal of thoracic disease, 2013
In terms of accuracy and efficacy Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) resections are comparable to standard VATS. In standard three-ports VATS, the geometric configuration of a parallelogram generates interference with the optical source, creating a plane with a torsion angle not favorable on the flat two-dimensional vision of currently ...

Tumour Localisation With ICG‐Soaked Embolisation Coils Without Robotic Bronchoscopy: First German Experience

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Accurate localisation of small or non‐palpable pulmonary lesions is critical for successful minimally invasive resection. We present a four‐patient case series—the first in Germany—where ICG‐soaked embolisation coils were placed using ultrathin bronchoscopy, a standard cytology brush catheter and cone beam CT (CBCT) guidance, without robotic ...

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Arthroscopic‐Assisted Uniportal Spinal Surgery Versus Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Decompression in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Retrospective Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 261-269, February 2026.
Arthroscopic‐assisted uniportal spinal surgery (AUSS), a novel minimally invasive approach, demonstrates superior clinical outcomes in managing lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), notably in achieving efficient surgery, complete neural decompression, and sustained postoperative symptom relief.

Single incision VATS decortication for 3rd stage empyema

Clinical Case Reports, 2018
Key Clinical Message The use of U‐VATS should be preferred to conventional three‐port VATS if skills are mastered as it causes less and single intercostal trauma. Moreover, it minimizes infection spread to the chest wall. We advocate the use of U‐VATS as

Postoperative pain outcomes following uniportal vs. multiportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Surgery
BackgroundVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has evolved from multiportal to uniportal approaches, theoretically offering reduced postoperative pain through single intercostal space access.
