Microlobectomy aims to reduce postoperative pain and enhance a patient’s recovery. The key principles include: no intercostal utility incision; no intercostal incisions larger than 5 mm; adoption of 5 mm instrumentation, 5 mm sealing devices,...
The authors present a video demonstrating redo lung resection by VATS to show that previous surgery on the thorax does not contraindicate a minimally invasive re-intervention. The literature on this...
This video shows a redo right upper lobe microlobectomy for a second primary tumor. The authors previously performed a posterior approach middle lobectomy on the patient in 2014. Footage from...
Diaphragmatic lacerations are not uncommon after blunt thoraco-abdominal trauma following traffic accidents. Diagnosis can be difficult as clinical presentation is sometimes unclear. VATS is a safe approach to confirm the...
This video shows a sleeve microlobectomy of the right upper lobe. The patient presented with a 3 cm proximal tumor at the orifice of the right upper lobe. The authors...
VATS can be safely used for dissection of masses in the visceral mediastinum. This video presents the case of a 31-year-old man diagnosed with a metastatic germ cell tumor, and...
This is a video of a robotic left lower lobe sleeve lobectomy. A 4.0 V-lock suture is used to perform the anastomosis, which is a barbed suture with an eyelet...
In the performance of a three-port VATS plication, the authors demonstrate the use of novel tools to perform horizontal mattress sutures running in an oblique fashion. At the end of...
This video demonstrates a micropneumonectomy. This technique uses 5 mm ports in the intercostal space and a subxiphoid incision for the stapler. The lung is removed through the subxiphoid incision....
This video demonstrates how to use a curved stapler for superficial and deep lung resections.
