Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS) right lower lobectomy for a giant T4 squamous cell lung tumour
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is one of the unique methods that have revolutionized the discipline of minimally-invasive thoracic surgery in the last two decades. Previously, double-port VATS lobectomy has been used for the resection of T4 tumours. This current case report presents a 6...

description | Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is one of the unique methods that have revolutionized the discipline of minimally-invasive thoracic surgery in the last two decades. Previously, double-port VATS lobectomy has been used for the resection of T4 tumours. This current case report presents a 68-year-old male that presented with a productive cough of 3 months' duration, associated with fever, chest pain and loss of body weight. He was haemodynamically stable. The patient underwent surgery under general anaesthesia using a uniportal VATS (UVATS) approach. A 2-cm incision was made in the mid-axillary line through the right 5th intercostal space with no rib spreading. The tumour was put into a specimen bag, cut into pieces and then removed via the mouth of the bag using a grasper. After good haemostasis, a single chest drain was placed and the small incision was sutured in layers. The postoperative course was uneventful and no complications were observed. On the 6th day postoperative, the patient was discharged home. This current case demonstrated that UVATS resection for T4 tumours might be a viable approach in the hands of skilled surgeons. It should also provide decreased postoperative pain, faster recovery and shorter hospitalization. |
