Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) has become a standard of care in adults, pediatric surgeons have been slower to undertake this approach. There are limitations for working in children. The site of a chest tube becomes the working site for thoracoscopic surgery and the only scar. We propose this study to do a retrospective review comparing the conventional multiport thoracic surgery with the newer single port site.
