Lung wedge resection using a single transumbilical incision: An animal survival study
Wei-Hsun Chen, MD Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Introduction: Transumbilical single-port surgery is a potentially less-invasive approach to many types of abdominal surgeries and offers better cosmetic outcomes than conventional 3-port laparoscopic surgery. It avoids the complication of intercostal neuralgia and may reduce the risk of pulmonary complications after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). This study evaluated… Continue Reading
