Surgical Experience with Single-Port Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery after Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy

Neoadjuvant immunotherapy has transformed lung cancer surgery, enhancing pathological responses and potentially improving survival.This presentation showcases the surgical experience using the uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) approach for lung resection after neoadjuvant immunotherapy, highlighting technical challenges such as hilar fibrosis and immune-related nodal changes.Despite these complexities, uniportal VATS remains a feasible and safe option in experienced hands, offering benefits such as reduced morbidity and faster recovery.The discussion will focus on surgical strategies, patient selection, and outcomes, providing insights into optimizing minimally invasive techniques while maintaining oncologic efficacy.Session 10
