Abstract
Background: Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (U-VATS) is performed routinely in some countries for respiratory diseases including lung cancer. Several studies report both advantages and disadvantages of the procedure. We review the history of U-VATS in Japan, highlight limitations of the procedure, and discuss the current status and surgical outcomes of U-VATS for anatomical lung resections performed at our institution for patients with early-stage cancer.
