TY - JOUR AU - Tam, John K. C. PY - 2018 TI - Notes on the first uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy on June 25, 2009 JF - Journal of Visualized Surgery; Vol 4 (August 2018): Journal of Visualized Surgery Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - 20 years ago open thoracotomy was considered the standard approach for thoracic surgery. My journey in thoracic surgery started in 1999 at the University of Manitoba in Canada, where I learned to perform the full range of thoracic surgery using the open thoracotomy technique. At that time we performed multiportal VATS for pleural conditions only. UR - https://jovs.amegroups.org/article/view/20912
