Abstract
Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (Uni-VATS) has become one of the most exciting new developments in minimally invasive thoracic surgery in recent 5 years. With the development of better thoracoscopic cameras and the availability of endoscopic linear mechanical staplers, experts in the technique are able to use uniportal VATS to encompass the most complex procedures such as bronchial sleeve/vascular reconstructions or carinal resections. A large number of multi-center reports have confirmed that Uni-VATS lobectomy is safe and feasible; dissected node group number and total number of mediastinal lymph nodes were not less than that of traditional muli VATS; Uni-VATS gained positive results in pain, trauma and recovery time. Although the large sample multi center clinical data, such as the five year survival rate has not yet been obtained, gradually carring out of uni-VATS will be an important direction for the future development of minimally invasive thoracic surgery. This article will focus on the principle of Uni-VATS and the specific operation details, combined with the basic operation concept, with a view to put forward the orderly and standard utilization of the Uni-VATS.

The mediastinal lymph nodes are difficult exposed post lobectomy. A: The defects to dissect No.7 lymph nodes after the right lower lobectomy: the posterior mediastinal is difficult to expose without the of traction on the lower lung, Inferior pulmonary vein and bronchus are easily injuried by mistake; B: The defects to dissect No.5/6 lymph nodes after the left upper lobectomy: the No.5 lymph nodes are difficult to expose without the of traction on the upper lung, left pulmonary artery trunk is easily injuried by mistake.
遵循“先肺叶/段切除,后淋巴结清扫”路径,纵隔淋巴结难以暴露。A:先完成右下肺叶切除再清扫第7组淋巴结的弊端:失去了对下肺的牵拉,后纵隔暴露困难,下肺静脉、支气管残端容易受到误损伤;B:先完成左上肺叶切除再清扫第5、6组淋巴结的弊端:失去了对上肺的牵拉,第5组淋巴结显露不佳,左肺动脉干容易受到误损伤。The mediastinal lymph nodes are difficult exposed post lobectomy.

Prevention measures to avoid false injury of blood vessels. A: Choose a Fr12 catheter as the guide tube; B: Full release of blood vessels and change the direction of pulmonary traction; C: To maintain the appropriate relaxation rely on the pulmonary traction.
预防血管误损伤的方法。A:选取Fr12尿管作为引导管;B:充分游离血管远心端,改变肺牵拉的方向;C:保持被夹闭组织的适度松弛。Prevention measures to avoid false injury of blood vessels.

Under the principle of "thrifty", the size of the incision can be limited to 3 cm. A: The size of incision between operation; B: The size of incision post-operation.
“节俭化”原则下切口大小可以限定在3 cm。A:手术操作中切口的大小;B:手术结束后切口的大小。Under the principle of "thrifty", the size of the incision can be limited to 3 cm. A: The size of incision between operation; B: The size of incision post-operation.
Chest drainage with two 16 F chest tubes after Uni-VATS got a unobstructed drainage. A: X-ray findings post-operation on thoracic positive position; B: X-ray findings post-operation on thoracic lateral position.
