A prospective study examining the impact of uniportal video‐assisted thoracic surgery on the short‐term quality of life in patients with lung cancer

Abstract

The advantages of uniportal VATS include a shorter hospital stay, more rapid recovery and superior cosmetic results compared to three-portal VATS. Additionally, uniportal VATS is superior to three-portal thoracoscopic surgery in terms of the immediate postoperative short-term QOL.
