    AbstractSince it was first performed in 2010, lobectomy via a single port-uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)-has become increasingly popular among surgeons. However, this most minimally invasive surgical approach requires a different skill set compared with even conventional multiportal VATS. For those beginning to learn uniportal VATS, the technical challenges can seem considerable. This article shares some tips and tricks from experienced uniportal VATS practitioners that will help those wishing to learn the approach, and covers the principles of operative setup and instrumentation as well as specific pointers on surgery for each lung lobe.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
