Purpose Of Review: This review discusses nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) by presenting its physiological, technical aspects and recent clinical data from the literature.

Several approaches to this technique have been described in the literature, mainly divided into the awake patient technique (awake-NIVATS) and the asleep patient technique (asleep-NIVATS).
