biostudies-literatureUnknown10(3)Yang YMinimally invasive techniques, typified by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, are widely practiced in the treatment of thoracic diseases all around the world, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has been recognized as a standard treatment method for early staged lung cancer. Among them, robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, which has the advantages of providing a three-dimensional view and better maneuverability, has emerged as a next-generation technique in the field of minimally invasive surgery and is also gaining its popularity with the idea of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery deeply rooted in patients' minds. Up to now, robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery usually requires 3 or 4 ports with 1 or 2 additional access incisions.
