Background: Lung cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with surgery being a primary treatment option for early-stage cases. Minimally invasive surgery has gained attention due to its potential benefits. Uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is emerging as a viable option for treating lung cancer patients.

Background: There has been increasing adoption of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) and uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (uVATS) for lung resection. We undertook a single-institution retrospective study, comparing these approaches.
Methods: An analysis was performed of patients who underwent lung resection by either uVATS or RATS.

Background: Multiport robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (mRATS) has been comprehensively evaluated for its clinical efficacy in numerous studies. Nevertheless, the safety and feasibility of uniportal robotic lobectomy and lymphadenectomy require further validation.
Methods: The clinical data of 34 consecutive patients with lung cancer who underwent improved uniportal robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (uRATS) at our hospital between November 2023 and June 2024 were reviewed retrospectively.

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a rare condition resulting from the compression of the brachial plexus and/or the subclavian vessels in the thoracic outlet (TO). Neurogenic TOS (NTOS) is the most common form in up to 95% of the cases, while venous TOS (VTOS) occurs in 3-5% and arterial TOS (ATOS) in 1-2% of the cases. Patients may suffer from the pathologic coexistence of arterio-venous compression in the TO called arterio-venous TOS (AVTOS) with an overlap of clinical symptoms.
