We introduce a uniportal robotic-assisted thoracoscopic double sleeve lobectomy performed on a patient following neoadjuvant immunotherapy. Specialized instruments like customized trocars with a reduced diameter, bulldog clamps and double needle sutures were utilized to facilitate the maneuverability through the single incision. This technique integrates the merits of multiport robotic assisted thoracic surgery with uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
