Abstract

Single-incision thoracoscopic surgery has become popular because of its potential to further extend the benefits of thoracoscopic surgery, such as less pain, a faster recovery time, and improved cosmesis, but the limited visualization due to crowding of instruments requires a certain amount of skill, especially in children. We herein describe a singleaccess video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for a pediatric spontaneous pneumothorax. This procedure was useful, led to less postoperative pain and a better cosmetic appearance, and resulted in satisfactory results. Keywords : single-incision thoracoscopic surgery, spontaneous pneumothorax, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
