Abstract  Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has developed very rapidly in these two decades, and has replaced conventional open thoracotomy as a standard procedure for some simple thoracic operations as well as an option or a complementary procedure for some other more complex operations. In this paper we will review its development history, the present status and the future perspectives.

Key words： Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS)      Pneumothorax      Empyema      Lung cancer      Esophagus      Mediastinum
