Case description

Challenging uniportal VATS right upper lobectomy. The patient was considered non surgical in other center and treated with high doses of chemo-radiotherapy. One year and a half later, the hilar tumor persisted, and no more chance for chemo-radiotherapy, so the case was reevaluated and considered for rescue surgery. A difficult uniportal VATS RUL was performed. Total surgical time was 140 minutes. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful.
