Özet

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is the standard treatment for bullous lung disease. Non-intubated VATS (NIVATS) prevents patient from the potential risks of general anesthesia and intubation.[1]It is a safe procedure with similar reliability compared to VATS performed under general anesthesia.[2]Also, NIVATS can be used in patients with severe pulmonary comorbidity to prevent postoperative ventilator dependency. Pregnant patients who are at risk for anesthetic and surgical interventions may also benefit from NIVATS.[3]
