Research progress of minimally invasive single-port thoracoscopic surgery in pulmonary surgery

Single-port thoracoscopic surgery is a novel minimal invasive technique that has been widely used in pulmonary surgery and has made many achievements and progress. With the advancement of technology, the application scope of single-port thoracoscopic surgery in lung surgery has gradually expanded, including various conventional surgical methods such as wedge resection, lobectomy, and segmentectomy, as well as complex surgical methods such as sleeve lobectomy, combined lobectomy, and sublobar resection. It has the advantages of small incision, minimal trauma, less bleeding, mild pain, and fast recovery, and has been widely recognized in pulmonary surgery. In the future, attention will be paid to the innovation of surgical instruments and surgical auxiliary technologies to further improve the single-port thoracoscopic surgery system and overcome the existing limitations and risks. With the continuous progress and development of technology, the application prospect of single-port thoracoscopic surgery in pulmonary surgery will be broader.
