Resumo
[Abstract] In 2004, uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) technique was described
limited to diagnostic procedures and pneumothorax treatment. Nowadays, the procedure widely extended
in complex thoracic surgery in adults. However, the application of this technique in paediatric population
is not widespread and reports in literature are limited. Classic approach of these paediatric diseases was
open thoracotomy. Thoracic paediatric procedures varies from decortication for empyema and biopsy
of intrathoracic lesions up to advanced procedures, such as repair of oesophageal atresia and resection of
mediastinal masses. However, uniportal approach is not extended in paediatric surgery and there are only
a few cases reported in literature with satisfactory outcomes. We present advantages and indications of
uniportal VATS in children as well as a review of reported cases. We emphasize in the reproducibility and
safety of single incision VATS in paediatric population in our clinical experience.
