Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases has been used since the early 1990s, yet its impact on intraoperative and postoperative morbidity has not yet been fully evaluated. This report aims to provide a retrospective analysis of the literature and the authors' clinical experience with VATS in pulmonary surgery, with the goal of ascertaining rational criteria that explain operative complications and thus improve outcomes.

Abstract

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases has been used since the early 1990s, yet its impact on intraoperative and postoperative morbidity has not yet been fully evaluated. This report aims to provide a retrospective analysis of the literature and the authors' clinical experience with VATS in pulmonary surgery, with the goal of ascertaining rational criteria that explain operative complications and thus improve outcomes.
