Single-Incision Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Benign Mediastinal Diseases: Experiences in Single Institution
نویسندگان
چکیده
With advancement of the technique of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), some surgeons have made great efforts to reduce the number of incisions in the conventional three- or four-port approach. Several studies on cases treated by single-incision VATS and their short-term outcomes were reported. Here, we present our experience with single-incision VATS for the treatment of benign mediastinal diseases.
