Prof. Gonzalez's 9th Uniportal VATS Thoracic Surgery Master Class ended successfully!

Recently, the 9th Uniportal VATS Masterclass led by Prof. Diego Gonzalez Rivas concluded successfully. Bluesail Surgical once again invited Prof. Diego Gonzalez Rivas from the Thoracic Surgery Department of the University Hospital of A Coruña, Spain, to share cutting-edge uniportal endoscopic surgical techniques through live surgery demonstrations and academic exchange salons. This event facilitated face-to-face exchanges and in-depth discussions with thoracic surgery experts and scholars nationwide, offering local medical professionals a rare international academic exchange and learning opportunity. With his extensive practical experience and pioneering technical insights, Prof. Gonzalez delivered a spectacular academic feast for attendees.

01 Prof. Diego Gonzalez Rivas

Prof. Diego Gonzalez Rivas is a world-renowned expert in uniportal VATS. As the first surgeon globally to perform uniportal VATS anatomical resections, he is hailed as the "Father of Uniportal VATS."

A pioneer in uniportal VATS, Prof. Gonzalez’s technique involves performing surgeries through a single small incision in the chest wall. Compared to traditional multi-port VATS, this approach offers advantages such as minimal trauma and faster postoperative recovery. Despite a steeper learning curve, skilled surgeons can perform complex uniportal procedures with comparable outcomes in operative volume and lymph node dissection to multi-port methods. Dedicated to global dissemination, Prof. Gonzalez has shared his expertise across 145 countries and regions. Through continuous academic exchanges and challenging case discussions worldwide, he strives to provide advanced and efficient treatment solutions for thoracic and pulmonary patients.

The 9th edition of the Masterclass continued its tradition of hosting sessions across three provinces in China, underscoring its dedication to nationwide medical technological advancement. By combining live surgeries with academic salons, Prof. Gonzalez generously shared his expertise with local medical professionals, earning unanimous acclaim from participants.

During the surgical demonstrations, Prof. Gonzalez showcased his latest research in uniportal VATS and meticulously explained key technical nuances and precautions. Notably, the Siderlux® Powered Ariculating Endoscopic Linear Cutter—a Class III medical device—was widely utilized. The stapler’s excellent hemostatic performance, reliable tissue penetration, and electric strike functionality received high praise from Prof. Gonzalez, particularly for its efficacy in demanding uniportal procedures.

In academic salons, Prof. Gonzalez shared decades of clinical experience, discussed future trends in uniportal VATS, and addressed challenges encountered during surgeries. His detailed presentations left attendees deeply inspired.
