The progress of VATS is an ongoing development and challenges to the role of a VATS major resections will never cease to emerge. The information available on Internet, live surgery events and experimental courses has contributed to the rapid learning of minimally invasive surgery during the last decade. While initially slow to catch on, the traditional multi-port approach has evolved into a single incision approach (uniportal VATS) that mimics open surgical vantage points while utilizing a non-rib-spreading small incision. The early period of uniportal VATS development was focused on minor procedures until the second phase uniportal VATS started in 2010 with the development of the technique for major pulmonary resections. The creation of specific uniportal VATS programs in high volume centers, like the Shanghai pulmonary hospital (the biggest thoracic program in the world with more than 8,000 major resections per year) has contributed to spread out the technique to a large number of surgeons from all over the world in a short period of time.
