Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) indication has expanded over the years to include medical treatment refractory to standard medical therapy. The introduction of bilateral uniportal VATS sympsthectomy (uniVATS) in the treatment of Raynaud?s disease (RD) is highlighted in such case. The results are promising and the pre-operative testing is emphasized.
