The surgeon is able to view the instruments that are being used along with the anatomy on which the surgeon is operating. The main advantage of VATS is that the smaller postoperative wounds drastically reduce the risk for wound infection and dehiscence, which allows for a faster recovery by the patient and a greater chance for the wound to heal.[1]. 12 Since the introduction of VATS in the management of spontaneous pneumothorax in 1990 , it has become the preferred intervention for preventing pneumothorax recurrence.

Eleven of 13 patients (84.6%) had prominent pulmonary bullae/blebs, and underwent bullae resection with mechanical or chemical pleurodesis. 5th ed. A VATS procedure should be the standard surgical procedure for pneumothorax patients, and an open thoracotomy is no longer considered the ‘gold standard’ in all guidelines. Blood pleurodesis has been used to treat pneumothorax and persistent postoperative air leak following pneumonectomy. Wakabayashi A, Brenner M, Wilson AF et.al. The goals of an operation for a pneumothorax are to cut out the area on the lung where the air leaked to collapse the lung and to make the lung stick to the ribs so the lung cannot separate from the ribs. VATS procedure is at least not inferior to a resection via a traditional thoracotomy. Chambersa A, Scarcib M.

Although sternotomy and thoracotomy have been proven over decades to provide highly effective access to thoracic structures and in general are tolerated by patients, both incisions have the potential for causing significant pain that may last for extended periods and both prevent the patients from heavy lifting or strenuous activity for weeks in order to heal, and can still result in malunions and nonunions.
