Mid- to short-term efficacy of Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery in the treatment of thoracic spinal tuberculosis
Single-port thoracoscopic technique combined with posterior internal fixation can effectively remove thoracic tuberculosis foci and correct kyphosis deformity. Moreover, it has the advantages of less trauma, quicker recovery, and significant short- and medium-term efficacy, making it a feasible, minimally invasive surgical procedure for treating thoracic spinal tuberculosis. However, further optimizing the instrumentation design and expanding the sample size in the future is necessary to validate its long-term effects.
