Pure uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (U-RATS) is the robotic thoracic surgery performed through a single intercostal incision, without rib spreading, using the robotic camera, robotic dissecting instruments and robotic staplers. Compared to multiport, U-RATS simplifies the management of possible intraoperative bleeding, mainly due to rapid undocking and the necessary uniportal experience of the surgeon. U-RATS offers a possible uniportal robotic surgical management of lung resections, with comfort for surgeons and quick and smooth recovery for patients.
