“…In conclusion, VATS is a feasible option in treating patients with PSHP and concurrent contralateral pneumothorax after adequate resuscitation and drainage of the contralateral pneumothorax, even when massive hemothorax or hypotension is present [39]. …”

Minimally invasive technology or laparoscopic surgery underwent a major breakthrough over the past two decades. The first experience of thoracoscopy in children was reported around 1980 for diagnosis of intrathoracic pathology and neoplasia. Up until the middle of the 1990s, the surgical community in Taiwan was still not well prepared to accept the coming era of minimally invasive surgery. In the beginning, laparoscopy was performed in only a few specialties and only relatively short or simple surgeries were considered. But now, the Taiwan's experiences over the several different clinical scenarios were dramatically increased. Therefore, we elaborated on the experience about pectus excavatum: Nuss procedure, primary spontaneous hemopneumothorax, thoracoscopic thymectomy, and empyema in Taiwan.

“…Therefore, with conventional rigid endoscope, the application of bilateral thoracoscopic surgery through unilateral single port wound will be confined in some simple conditions, such as drainage of non-loculated effusion in the case. If the endoscope and instruments can be more flexible and steerable, complete inspection and operation will be more feasible and can avoid bilateral wounds [6][7][8][9][10] and a more complicated apicoposterior transmediastinal approach proposed by Cho and colleagues. 11) An important difference is that with the method we proposed is much faster than conventional bilateral thoracoscopy.…”

A variety of disease in the chest can be treated with thoracoscopic surgery. Although with limited experience, thoracoscopic surgery can be performed with single-port approach. Theoretically, single-port approach can be applied in treating bilateral pleural effusions. Here we reported a case of 28-year-old man with the diagnosis of septic embolization of the lung with complications of bilateral empyema. He was treated with single-port thoracoscopic surgery for decortication of right pleural space and deloculation of left pleural space. After prolonged course of antibiotics for 21 days, the patient was discharged. After follow-up for 3 months, the patient recovered well and had no evidence of recurrence.
