Studio Osservazionale Retrospettivo Uneventful Vatslobectomy: Caratteristiche Cliniche All'Interno Del Registro Vats Group

VATS lobectomy allows surgeons to carry out exactly the same operation within the chest that is performed by thoracotomy, but it is done through 3-4 small incisions without rib spreading rather than the large incision with rib spreading that a thoracotomy entails. The surgeon gains his view inside the chest from a small video camera inserted through one of the small incisions, and the procedure is carried out with long instruments passed through the other small incisions.
