Approaches to single port mediastinal surgery
Abstract
Single Port Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) is now the standard of care for many pulmonary operations. The adoption of Single Port VATS for mediastinal surgery has been considerably slower. Nonetheless, intercostal, subxiphoid, and robot-assisted single-port surgery approaches for mediastinal conditions have been explored in recent years. This narrative review looks at the variety of techniques described and offers an appraisal of the clinical evidence surrounding them.
