The 10th Uniportal VATS Masterclass, led by Prof. Diego Gonzalez Rivas recently concluded with resounding success. Hosting by Bluesail Surgical, this premier event brought together thoracic surgery experts and scholars worldwide, fostering dynamic knowledge exchange and elevating surgical standards.

01 Prof. Diego Gonzalez Rivas

Widely revered as the “Father of Uniportal VATS,” Prof. Diego Gonzalez Rivas pioneered the revolutionary single-incision technique that redefines thoracic surgery. As the first surgeon globally to perform uniportal VATS anatomical resections, his approach minimizes trauma, accelerates recovery, and achieves outcomes comparable to traditional multi-port methods—even in complex procedures.

Despite a steeper learning curve, skilled surgeons can achieve outcomes comparable to multi-port VATS in operative efficiency and lymph node dissection. Dedicated to advancing global surgical education, 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.

Uniportal VATS procedures demand exceptional precision from both surgeons and instruments. The Siderlux® Powered Ariculating Endoscopic Linear Cutter, a Class III medical device, excels with its reliable stapling efficacy that minimizes tissue bleeding. Its ability to seamlessly cut through thick tissues and deliver smooth, controlled firing has been highly praised by Prof. Gonzalez, underscoring its value in complex surgeries.
