Background : Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for pericardial window operation is widely performed and has been demonstrated its feasibility in treatment for patients with pericardial effusion with less invasiveness. Thus, we introduced a minimally invasive technique of single port VATS window operation through 1cm incision.

Methods : A 62 years old male complained of dyspnea who have lung cancer with stage IIIA. The chest CT and echocardiography is corresponding with moderate amount of pericardial effusion. Under a general anesthesia, the patient was placed in the supine position with left arm were hung overhead with the arm slings, and the pad was packed below the back. After draping, a 1.0 cm minimal lengths' skin incision was made at the 7th ICS at the mid-axillary line. Thoracoscopic exploration was conducted using a 5 mm-30° thoracoscope and peicardiostomy was performed using a hook electrocautery. Yellowish, serous effusion was drained and 16 Fr. tube was placed into the pericardium through the uniport followed by anchoring using barbed suture material.

Results : The operation time took 25 minutes without any intra-operative event. The whole procedure was possible without additional working incision. The drainage tube was removed on the postoperative day 4 and the patient discharged on the postoperative day 5 without complication.

Conclusion : Pericardial window operation followed by barbed suture anchoring method for tube placement through the 1 cm length’s uniportal incision is a feasible technique.
