The use of U-VATS should be preferred to conventional three-port VATS if skills are mastered as it causes less and single intercostal trauma. Moreover, it minimizes infection spread to the chest wall. We advocate the use of U-VATS as a routine approach in patient with empyema stage III for positive outcome.
如果掌握了相关技术,应优先使用单孔电视辅助胸腔镜手术(U-VATS)而非传统的三孔电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS),因为它造成的肋间创伤更小且为单一创伤。此外,它能将感染扩散至胸壁的风险降至最低。我们主张将U-VATS作为治疗Ⅲ期脓胸患者的常规方法以获得良好疗效。
