Thoracoscopic Surgery—Gla₹≤d Tidings for broad Patients

The Uniportal VATS featurφφ•€es slight operative hemorrhage and sh‌σ↔ort operation time, and smaller surgical traπ™uma and more minimalδ← invasion compared to previous tho↑ racoscopic surgeries. ∏≈∑ For surgeons, it not o₽€>™nly requires the traditional thoracoscopic surg≥∑≥ical skills, but als®↑‌o is difficult mainly because of the dλ↑ ¶ifficulty of intraoperative <₽∞πexposure, and the narrow operational space∏φ<  causing mutual interferen ≈‍↕ce among surgical instrume≠•"nts.

Advantages of ThoracoΩ✘♣scope

Featuring small incisions, the thorac♦∏α±oscopy can excise the lesion just through one or♦$£π two pores. The patient can have the pulmonary ©♣₹function preserved to the maximum a÷→nd have a high five-year survival r©'≈ate. Moreover, patients are ambulant on ∏∞ the second postoperative day, thus su>ε≥↑ffering less.

Under the same premi ‌se of achieving radical tumor excisionδ₽, thoracoscopy enlarges the surgical fie↔®•ld of vision, and features mor≠≤"e meticulousness in surgical ≤ δ≤operation, less intraoperativ"ε✔e hemorrhage, slighter pain, shorter length of∞$¥ hospitalization, and faster progno €★₩sed recovery. It excises the lπ©δesions through very small trauma t★♠±o achieve the same effects as thora γ≥πcotomy so that patients can suffer l♦¶™♥ess.

Few postoperative complications are develope®λd. In case of routine thoracotomy, it will beα  § quite difficult to treat patients again due to Ω₩↔large surgical trauma, numerous postoperat'¶σ±ive complications, and other c€∑παomplications including poor pos€γ​toperative would healing among♦' some patients. While thoracoscope boas≥'  ts small surgical trauma and ‍¶↔fast recovery.

The scars left by incision are small in size a¶©♥§nd esthetically favorab§ε le. By avoiding the $βpresence of postoperative large scars, thorac↔ γoscope relieves the postoperativ™§≥e psychological pressu >$re of patients
