Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) allows to treat pulmonary and mediastinal diseases although two-dimensional (2D) imaging can make difficult to estimate the morphological and topographical characteristics of a lesion. Some technical aspects have certainly been corrected with the introduction of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), although not widespread in less economically developed countries. As an emerging imaging system and technique, 3D VATS is an interesting resource for thoracic surgeons and it may be a proper and valid aid in minimally-invasive surgery, but not an alternative or a compromise to the most expensive robotic technology. The purpose of the study was to carefully analyze the different experiences reported in literature in order to evaluate the state of art of 3D VATS method in lung excision.
电视辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS）可用于治疗肺部和纵隔疾病，尽管二维（2D）成像可能难以评估病变的形态和地形特征。随着机器人辅助胸腔镜手术（RATS）的引入，一些技术方面确实得到了改进，尽管在经济欠发达国家并不普及。作为一种新兴的成像系统和技术，3D VATS对胸外科医生来说是一种有趣的资源，它可能是微创手术中一种合适且有效的辅助手段，但不是最昂贵的机器人技术的替代方案或折衷方案。本研究的目的是仔细分析文献中报道的不同经验，以评估3D VATS肺切除方法的现状。
