Master VATS skills through deliberate practice.

Build precise camera-guided instrument control.

Poke, then open, rotate, and center the instrument at 16 points, alternating hands.

Develop coordinated two-handed retraction and tissue handling.

Precisely grasp 16 edge targets in sequence, alternating hands at each target.

Plan and control stapler positioning under VATS vision.

Stabilize the lung, place the stapler, and align the anvil with marked lines in both triangles.

Develop needle control, suture handling, and a repeatable rhythm.

Place a continuous suture through five consecutive squares in an up-and-down pattern.

Build two-handed exposure and precise dissection technique.

Use the harmonic to dissect and remove lymph nodes, isolating adjacent broncho-vascular structures.

Develop safe, controlled endocutter passage around vessels and bronchi.

Guide the anvil behind each broncho-vascular structure along a smooth, curved trajectory.
