Abstract

empyema VATS uniportal decortication
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.
