Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat problems in your chest. During a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery procedure, a tiny camera (thoracoscope) and surgical instruments are inserted into your chest through small incisions in your chest wall. The thoracoscope transmits images of the inside of your chest onto a video monitor, guiding the surgeon in performing the procedure. Surgeons use the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery technique to perform a variety of operations, such as: Biopsy to diagnose lung cancer, mesothelioma and other chest cancers Esophagus surgery (esophagectomy) Hiatal hernia repair Lung surgery, such as surgery to treat lung cancer and lung volume reduction surgery Procedures to remove excess fluid or air from the area around the lungs Surgery to relieve excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) Surgery to relieve gastroesophageal reflux disease Thymus gland removal surgery (thymectomy) Possible complications of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) include: Pneumonia infection Bleeding Temporary or permanent nerve damage Anesthesia-related effects Talk with your doctor about these and other risks of VATS.
