Pain and recovery are comparable after either uniportal or multiport video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy: an observation study

摘要

OBJECTIVES: Uniportal approaches to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy have been described in significant series. Few comparison studies between the two techniques exist. The aim was to determine whether the uniportal technique had more favourable postoperative outcomes than the multiport technique.
