Clinical areas
What problems are evaluated?
Approach to care
The technique comes after the indication.
The consultation first defines the diagnosis, whether surgery is actually needed and the goals of treatment. Minimally invasive surgery is considered when it offers a reasonable clinical advantage without sacrificing safety, oncologic completeness or technical quality.
1. Confirm
Diagnosis, extent and required studies.
2. Decide
Whether to operate, when and with what objective.
3. Choose approach
VATS, uniportal or another strategy according to the case.
