Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is considered a technically demanding procedure. The learning curve, which directly influences the adoption of uniportal VATS, has not been described. In this study, we aimed to describe the learning curve for uniportal VATS lobectomy from our single center's experience.
