Case description
One of the latest advances in uniportal VATS is the possibility of using a robotic articulated arm that holds the camera stable and make surgery feasible by a single surgeon, with no assistant.
This approach requires that the surgeon must learn to handle several instruments with one hand and to be able to exert the same bimanual instrumentation. It is mandatory to learn "double finger instrumentation" which means that with one hand (usually the left hand) two instruments are held and moved at the same time: a retractor to grasp the lung and provide exposure with two digits, and a long curved suction to perform the tasks described above with the remaining digits.
