Hello again Dr. Corenman. Is a video assisted thoracic surgery only for removal of disc material, or can it be used to fuse as well?

I’m not saying this is what is going to happen, but I was wondering about the recovery time of a VATS surgery as well. I’m very grateful for your answers Dr. Corenman

Thanks,
