7th Asian Single Port VATS Symposium

Minimally invasive thoracic surgery procedures are presently undergoing changes with the advent of single port surgery, robotic surgery, and other new technologies. Particularly, single port surgery has come into sharp focus, and is now spreading in Asia, Europe, and other parts of the world. In this symposium, the world’s experts in single port surgery will report on pulmonary lobectomy via lateral approach, single port lobectomy via subxiphoid and subcostal approach, single port thymectomy via subxiphoid approach, single port pulmonary lobectomy without endotracheal intubation under local anesthesia, extended operations with single port surgery, robot-assisted single port surgery, education and training programs in single port lobectomy, and other topics.
