The use of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in dealing with thoracic trauma has been well established. VATS avoids a thoracotomy and offers excellent visualization of the entire pleural cavity. The removal of bullets from the pleural cavity using VATS has also been reported, but, to our knowledge, this is the first time a bullet has been removed from the pericardial cavity using VATS.
电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)在处理胸部创伤方面的应用已得到充分确立。VATS避免了开胸手术,并能对整个胸腔进行极佳的可视化观察。使用VATS从胸腔取出子弹的情况也有报道,但据我们所知,这是首次使用VATS从心包腔取出子弹。
