Thoracoscopic surgical techniques have changed and evolved as technological development has produced instruments capable of greater precision and safety. Today it is possible to find sorne experiences wlth different thoracic procedures performed through a single lncision. A study was designad with the aim of assessing the outcomes of patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery performed through a single incision.
A descriptive, prospectiva study was carried out. The study included all patients who underwent surgery performed by thoracoscopy through a single port. The study assessed demographic variables, duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, time with chest tube, and complications related with the procedure.
Thirty eight (38) patients were operated. The most common procedures were tale pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusions and pulmonary decorticanon for empyema. The median surgical lime was 42 minutes, and the median hospital stay was 8 days. The most common complications were of respiratory oríqm, such as the need for non-invasiva mechanical ventilation. Only one palient died, due to advanced illness.
Video-assisted thoracic surgery performed through a single incision is an evolution of traditional thoracoscopic surgery. lt is a simple. effective, and beneficia! procedure, whose morbidity is minimal.
