The electronic recordswere collected and reported on demographics, surgical procedure details and postoperative complications. In a sample of 44 participants, the mean age was 31.21±9.21 and 39 participants were male (88.6%). Sixteen people had blunt trauma, and 28 people had penetrating trauma. Accompanying organ damage was reported in 9 patients (20.5%). The mean injury severity score was 20.98±6.74. In the sample, the duration of surgery was 70.52±21.02 minutes, the number of days with a chest tube was 5.95±4.40, duration of ICU staywas 7.77±4.30 days, duration of hospitalizationwas12.36±1.98 days andduration of return to physical activity was 7.56±1.48 days. Among patients, one patient (2.3%) was intubated. Postoperative imaging findings were positive in 11 patients (25%). During postoperative hospitalization, the most common findings were surgical site infection in 4 (9.1%) empyema in 3 (6.8%), pneumothorax in 3 (6.8%), pneumonia in 2 (4.5%), hemothorax in 2 patients (4.5%) and death in 1 (2.2%).VATS is associated with lower complications, as well as higher patient tolerance than other methods; Making it a safe and effective method of controlling acute chest trauma in patients with hemodynamic stability in young adults.
