This video highlights a single-port technique for limited sympathectomy aimed at treating refractory ventricular tachycardia. It is designed to reduce surgical risks in otherwise unstable patients, minimize postoperative pain, and provide a durable solution for a condition for which other medical management has failed.

VATS
April 1, 2025
This video presents a challenging case of uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for a recurrent secondary pleural hydatid cyst in a patient previously managed by open thoracotomy, highlighting key tips and techniques for effective management.

In this month’s episode of The Atrium, host Dr. Alice Copperwheat speaks with Dr. Thomas D'Amico about VATS lobectomy.
February 20, 2025
This study reported the initial experiences of 115 patients who underwent robot-assisted thoracic surgery using the da Vinci single-port robotic system. The procedures included thymectomy, mediastinal mass excision, anatomical pulmonary resection, esophagectomy, and esophageal tumor enucleation.
February 20, 2025
This study compared perioperative and oncological outcomes between modified subxiphoid video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy and median sternotomy thymectomy for locally advanced thymic malignancies.
January 16, 2025
This study compared robotic and video-assisted thymectomy to assess pathological resection status, as well as overall and disease-free survival. Data were retrieved from the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons prospectively maintained thymic database, which includes 82 international centers, 37 of which agreed to participate in this study.
December 11, 2024
This video demonstrates a uniportal non-intubateed video-assisted thoracic surgery (NI-VATS) thoracic sympathectomy, which represents a significant advancement in the surgical management of primary hyperhidrosis. This technique realizes the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, including reduced complications and faster recovery times, making it a superior option for suitable candidates.
November 21, 2024
Current guidelines advocate for surgically placed intercoastal catheters (ICC) for pain optimization following minimally invasive anatomic lung resection. This double-blind, randomized study aimed to determine the efficacy of loco-regional continuous ropivacaine application through ICC as a method of providing analgesia postoperatively.
