It differs significantly from traditional VATS. The literature reports that the uniportal approach provides surgical efficiency comparable to the multiportal approach, reduces postoperative pain scores, improves patient comfort due to shorter surgery, reduced chest tube use, and reduced hospital stay, and offers superior cosmetic results.
