Abstract: Micro-invasive thoracic surgery has become new trends of thoracic surgery,and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS),which has the advantage of less trauma,rapid recovery and fewer postoperative complications,has become the mainstream of lung cancer resection.With the development of technology and surgical instruments,VATS has taken the place of open procedure,and the postoperatively follow-up also showed that both the two procedures have similar results in long-term survival rate and so on.With years of rapid develop,now the traditional VATS has nearly been perfect,the thoracic doctors eagerly try to find a new kind of micro-invasive surgery.It is in this background that Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery is born and it has been received by more and more operators.Uniportal VATS is not only inferior than multiportal VATS in Postoperative survival,but also has the advantage in reliving post thoracotomy chest pain as it only has one incision.In this paper,the author would like to summarize up the newest development of uniportal VATS in recently years.
