AB  - Awake video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (A-VATS) enables the surgeon to 
      penetrate the tissue via a small incision and with less contact between the lung 
      and atmospheric pressure; postoperative respiratory functions are also less 
      affected than in open surgery. A-VATS is a safer technique than traditional VATS 
      and non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NI-VATS) because it does 
      not require muscle relaxants and sedoanalgesics. In particular, diagnostic VATS 
      for pleural effusions can be easily performed over a single port using only local 
      anaesthetic. Anaesthesia-related risks increase even more for elderly patients 
      and those with severe comorbidities. Although there are long and risky operations 
      in thoracic surgery, general anaesthesia is not required for some thoracic 
      surgery procedures. However, A-VATS is limited to minor procedures. Due to 
      regional anaesthesia and sedation, NI-VATS is a safe and effective method for 
      many indications. The results show that this method can be applied with low 
      mortality and morbidity.
