We present the case of a 50-year-old woman with severe emphysema, who underwent subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted lung volume reduction surgery. Standard techniques include staged unilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and historically sternotomy and thoracotomy. Concerns that the subxiphoid incision may have impacted on the abdominal component of ventilation was considered; however, this was not the case, and pain control was excellent. The patient was discharged home after 3 days with no chest drain. Lung function and performance status have improved considerably.

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.
