Introduction
Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has increasingly been used in thoracic surgery during the last decade.

Aim
To assess the safety and effectiveness of uniportal VATS compared to triportal VATS.

Material and methods
Data of a total of 318 patients between 2009 and 2019 who underwent uniportal and triportal VATS were reviewed. Bivariate statistical analysis using Pearson’sc2 test was performed.

Results
Our data showed statistical differences only in complications and hospital stay between the 2 groups.

Conclusions
Uniportal VATS has a safe post-operative outcome and is comparable to triportal VATS.
