In thoracic surgery, big changes have taken place in the past three decades. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) was introduced only 25 years ago but has since rapidly evolved, going from three–four ports to two and finally just one: wide, disfiguring incisions have turned into minimal accesses, and the old concept of thoracoscopy has been recast from a diagnostic tool limited to pleural diseases to a fulloperative surgical procedure capable of eradicating extensive pulmonary masses.

Abstract
In thoracic surgery, big changes have taken place in the past three decades. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) was introduced only 25 years ago but has since rapidly evolved, going from three–four ports to two and finally just one: wide, disfiguring incisions have turned into minimal accesses, and the old concept of thoracoscopy has been recast from a diagnostic tool limited to pleural diseases to a fulloperative surgical procedure capable of eradicating extensive pulmonary masses.File in questo prodotto:
