Because almost all VATS approaches are completely via small-sized ports under visual monitoring, dense adhesions between the lung and parietal pleura can be visually obscuring, thus making progress in the VATS approach difficult. In this article, we introduce some tips and tricks for entering a difficult chest during VATS. UR - https://jovs.amegroups.org/article/view/22105
