title: Uniportal middle lobectomy after a previous right upper lobectomy.
abstract: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) using a 3.5 cm single incision (uniportal) may not only result in better pain control, earlier mobilization and shorter hospital stays, but can also provide safer and clear visualization to perform thoracoscopic dissection during complex surgeries. This is a case of a 55-year-old woman who underwent redo-thoracoscopy through uniportal approach for a middle-lobe lobectomy, after a previous right-upper lobectomy.
