ABSTRACT
Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has now evolved into a sophisticated technique that can be used in some of the most complex thoracic procedures; however, this approach to segmentectomy is not standardized, and the surgical procedure varies between surgeons. Here, we describe the use of our uniportal VATS procedure during right upper posterior segmentectomy in a patient with a nodule in the right upper lobe. Subsequent mediastinal lymphadenectomy was performed. The patient has recovered well after surgery. We believe that uniportal VATS segmentectomy is a technically safe and feasible alternative approach to conventional thoracoscopic techniques for treating lung cancer.
