How far will minimally invasive thoracic surgery go? Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic lingulectomy with 1 cm incision complicated by a mediastinal lingual artery: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Here, we present the case of a 36-year-old female patient who was found to have a ground-glass nodule (GGN) in the left lingual segment on chest computed tomography (CT) and who successfully underwent lingulectomy via 1?cm incision uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This is a technically safe and feasible procedure in selected patients and produces better cosmetic results than traditional thoracoscopic surgery.
