Overview

Systematic review shows single-port VATS improves perioperative outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer patients, indicating enhanced safety over multi-port techniques.

Key Points

  • Single-port VATS significantly reduces intra-operative blood loss, chest tube duration, and postoperative complications compared to 3-port VATS.
  • A total of 22 studies and 3,324 participants were included in the meta-analysis, establishing a robust foundation for findings.
  • Both single-port and 2-port VATS show similar outcomes in operation time and number of lymph nodes dissected, highlighting versatility.
  • The study presents moderate certainty in findings, with a low risk of bias, affirming single-port VATS as a safe option for lung cancer treatment.
