A VATS, or Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to perform procedures in the chest cavity. It involves making small incisions and inserting a thoracoscope, a camera that provides a visual feed to the surgeon. This allows for precise operations on the lungs, pleura, and other thoracic structures while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and reducing recovery time. The surgeon can manipulate instruments through additional small incisions based on the video feed, leading to less pain and quicker healing compared to traditional open surgery.
