Types of Thoracoscopy / VATS
VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) can range from a simple diagnostic procedure with a single camera port to more extensive therapeutic surgery involving lung biopsy, wedge resection, or even lobectomy (removing part of a lung) using multiple small incisions. Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a newer variant offering enhanced precision for complex cases.
