What is Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)?
Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows doctors to examine and treat problems within the chest. This technique uses a thoracoscope (a small camera) and specialized surgical instruments inserted through small incisions. Although VATS is primarily used in thoracic surgery, its application in gynecology has been gaining attention for certain conditions.
