Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective analysis was conducted on 77 patients who underwent U-VATS-P, revealing a mean age of 60.9 years and various perioperative metrics, including a median operative time of 191 minutes and an average postoperative hospital stay of 7.9 days.
- * While there were no complications related to chest tube malfunction, 10 patients experienced minor issues, including one case of empyema requiring rehospitalization, and several instances of chylothor
Background: With the advantages of better cosmetic incision and faster recovery, uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UP-VATS) has developed rapidly worldwide in recent decades, and indications for UP-VATS have been further expanded to those for conventional VATS. Complex segmentectomy that makes several or intricate intersegmental planes, with more complex procedures, continues to be difficult in minimally invasive techniques. However, there are few reports on UP-VATS complex segmentectomy.

The aims of this study were to evaluate microvessel density (MVD) and the expression of PAR-1 and MMP-1 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) specimens with different patterns of invasion (POI) and to evaluate their association with clinical outcomes.
Methods: Seventy-four surgically obtained oral SCC samples were classified by POI according to hematoxylin-eosin staining.
