Resection of pulmonary aspergilloma using uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: Evaluation of prognostic factors in a single-centre experience

Key Points

• The research aims to identify prognostic factors affecting morbidity during resection of pulmonary aspergilloma using uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
• Conducted in a single centre
• Evaluated patient outcomes after uniportal VATS
• Analyzed data related to haemoptysis, tuberculosis, CPA, and pleural adhesions
• Identified haemoptysis and tuberculosis as key prognostic factors
• Complete pleural adhesions linked to higher conversion rates
• Increased morbidity associated with identified factors
