What is Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)?
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used primarily for the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic diseases, including various forms of cancer. Unlike traditional open surgery, VATS employs small incisions through which a thoracoscope and surgical instruments are inserted. The thoracoscope is equipped with a camera that provides a magnified view of the chest cavity, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision.
