The ‘modified’ 3-port VATS lobectomy. The ‘baseball diamond’ (dotted blue line) and axis of the operation (red arrow) have essentially been rotated in a posterior direction—and the axis direction is now umbilicus-to-shoulder, better reflecting the fact that in reality the surgeon stands anterior to the patient (rather than sits on the patient’s hip!). VATS, video-assisted thoracic surgery.
