Thus, a good assistant should cooperate with surgeon and manipulate the camera expertly, to ensure eye-hand coordination. We have performed more than 100 uniportal VATS in the Department Of Thoracic Surgery in Ruijin Hospital. Based on our experiences, we summarized the method of holding camera, known as “ipsilateral, high, single-hand, sideways”, which largely improves the comfort and fluency of surgery.
