Introduction: Lung cancer is a serious health problem with a high mortality rate. In the context of surgical management, minimally invasive approaches, including uniportal thoracoscopic techniques, offer potential benefits such as faster recovery and increased patient cooperation. The aim of this study was to compare the accessibility of the mediastinal lymph nodes between uniportal and multiportal thoracoscopic approaches and to verify whether the use of the uniportal approach affects the radicality of the lymphadenectomy.

Introduction: Robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is a recently developed technique for the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer. The present study compares the outcomes of RAMIE and video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (VATE).
Method: Patients undergoing minimally invasive esophageal surgery between December 2020 and September 2022 were included in the study, while those undergoing conventional surgery were excluded.

Primary chest wall tumors are rare, their common clinical features are not well known, and surgical resection remains the main treatment. Apical chest wall tumors require large skin incisions and dissection of the chest wall muscles, making it difficult to maintain cosmetic appearance, respiratory function, and support of the upper extremity. There are few treatment options and no studies have reported on thoracotomy that spares muscles and preserves cosmetic superiority.

This case report presents our initial experience with the reduced-port approach in performing robotic biportal lobectomy.
Case Report: The 72-years-old female, examined for hemoptysis, was diagnosed with a carcinoid tumor of the left lower lobe bronchus based on bronchoscopy.

Background: Lung cancer poses a significant challenge with high mortality rates. Minimally invasive surgical approaches, including the uniportal thoracoscopic technique, offer potential benefits in terms of recovery and patient compliance. This study focuses on evaluating the radicality of mediastinal lymphadenectomy during uniportal thoracoscopic lung resection, specifically assessing the reachability of established lymphatic stations.
