Background: To address the feasibility and advantages of subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lobectomy.

Methods: Since August 2014, 105 cases of subxiphoid uniportal VATS lobectomy were successfully performed. The clinical information was retrospectively analyzed.

Results: 96 cases underwent unilateral operation and 9 underwent bilateral operations. Surgeries were successfully performed with a complication rate of 10.5%. The average pain scores 8 hours, day 1, 2 and 3 after surgery, as well as the day before discharge were 2.39±0.99, 2.06±0.85, 1.68±0.87, 1.29±0.78, and 0.48±0.51, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (standard intercostal uniportal VATS) (P<0.001).

Conclusions: The subxiphoid uniportal VATS lobectomy is safe and reliable, which is appropriate for bilateral lung diseases, and significantly relieves postoperative incision pain.

Background: It has become apparent that the endoscopic surgeries are rapidly developing, and they have become an essential part of every specialty of surgery. Single port thoracoscopic surgery is developing, enhancing the advantages of muti-portal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Although becoming a well-recognised approach for adult patients, extremely limited literature exists concerning uniportal VATS among pediatric cases.

The following case report demonstrates a surgical biopsy performed through a subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery approach. The patient was a 35-year-old male, non-smoker, obese, with a history of arterial hypertension. He was referred for a thoracic surgery consultation because nonspecific interstitial pneumonia was suspected.
