Department of Anesthesiology, The First People's Hospital of Chenzhou, Chenzhou, Hunan Province, 423000, China.
Background: Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a common complication following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) that significantly impacts the quality of life of patients. Although multiple risk factors have been identified, no systematically validated prediction model exists to guide clinical decision-making.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for CPSP in patients undergoing VATS for lung cancer.

Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Friendship Hospital, No. 2 Yinghua East Road, Chaoyang District, 100029, Beijing, China.
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the surgical efficacy of one-stage and two-stage video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules (BMPNs).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 156 patients, 84 who underwent one-stage and 72 who underwent two-stage VATS for BMPNs at our department between January 2019 and December 2022. Perioperative and long-term outcomes were compared between the two groups using propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery with nickel-titanium shape memory alloy wrap bone plate versus rib periosteal internal fixation in patients with multiple rib fractures (MRF) and flail chest.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 100 patients with MRF and flail chest treated with thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery and internal fixation with rib fracture preservation between January 2019 and December 2022, including 54 males and 46 females, aged from 20 to 65 years old, with an average age of (38.0±18.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital, 8950 Euclid Avenue, Mail Code R3, Cleveland, OH, 44106, USA.
Background: Long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) can complicate the management of esophageal atresia (EA) with or without a tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). This series describes a short interval, staged, thoracoscopic internal traction approach for LGEA with distal TEF to manage complex anastomotic tension or an anatomically impossible esophageal anastomosis.
Methods: A retrospective review (2018-2024) was performed across four tertiary centers to identify patients with LGEA and distal TEF, managed with a staged, thoracoscopic internal traction approach.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Beijing Institute of Respiratory Medicine and Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: Ipsilateral shoulder pain (ISP) is a common complication following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), significantly affecting postoperative recovery and quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between intraoperative upper limb positioning, and the occurrence of ISP, with the goal of optimizing positioning to reduce postoperative complications.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 252 patients undergoing VATS for lung resection.
