EVOLUTION AND COMPARISON OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE METHODS IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CHEST DISEASES

Abstract

The evolution of VTS begins with the concept of the early endoscope and does not appear to end. It is clear that these MIS approaches offer the advantages of traditional thoracotomy; however, there is conflicting evidence about how they relate to each other. This review suggests that further randomized trials and meta-analyses are needed to confirm which minimally invasive approach is most beneficial for chest conditions.

Keywords

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS); video-assisted thoracoscopy (VTS), muscle-sparing thoracotomy (MST), robot-assisted thoracoscopy (RATS), minimally invasive surgery (MIS); story; evolution; comparative results.
