A-VATS offers favorable outcomes in terms of postoperative pain control and better recovery so may replace I-VATS. However, its use requires careful patient selection and perioperative planning due to the occurrence of severe complications in some cases. Prospective randomized, patient matched larger and multiple study groups are needed and in our future plan to confirm these findings and optimize the perioperative and postoperative protocols for A-VATS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2025.1635663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,17]],"date-time":"2025-07-17T05:25:41Z","timestamp":1752729941000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Awake versus intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pleural disease: a retrospective cohort study from a single tertiary center"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Omer Faruk","family":"Saglam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Burcu","family":"Kilic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Merve","family":"Ekinci Fidan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nevzat Cem","family":"Sayilgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.
