Abstract
In 24th/03/2016 we organized the first uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) live surgery workshop in Jerusalem at our institution with our special guest Dr. Diego Gonzalez-Rivas, more than 30 participants attended this workshop from Israeli and the Palestinian territories (cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, general surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses). During the workshop Dr. Gonzalez operated two complex cases while the first case was an anatomical S1 segmentectomy, the second case (the one which we are reporting in this paper) was bilobectomy of right middle and lower lobes, during this case a profuse bleeding appeared while introducing the stapler in the interlobar fissure, the source of this bleeding was an abnormally located arterial branch, however the bleeding managed perfectly by Dr. Gonzalez-Rivas, although this surgery kept all of us in a state, all the attendees were happy to see the way how this bleeding managed and everybody was satisfied with the final result.Entities:
