近 30 年来，胸外科已迈入微创外科时代，单孔胸腔镜技术逐渐受到广泛的推广与应用，并成为主流术式。达芬奇机 器人手术系统的问世使得微创外科术者能够获取更高清的手术术野和更加精准灵活的操作，因而越来越为广大术者青睐。近 年来，有学者尝试结合二者优势，使用多臂机器人开展单孔机器人辅助胸腔镜手术（U-RATS），并取得了较为理想的疗效。 本文结合既往研究，对 U-RATS 在胸外领域的应用及进展展开综述。

Over the past three decades, thoracic surgery has entered the era of minimally invasive thoracic surgery, with uniportal thoracoscopic techniques being widely adopted and established as a mainstream surgical approach. The introduction of Da Vinci robotic surgical system enables minimally invasive surgeons to obtain more high-definition surgical field and more precise and flexible operation, which is increasingly favored by the majority of surgeons. In recent years, some scholars have attempted to combine the advantages of the two, using a multi-arm robot to carry out uniportal robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-RATS), and achieved more satisfactory results. The application and advances of U-RATS in thoracic surgery in the light of previous studies is summarized in this paper.
