Summary	Abstract：In the field of respiratory surgery, thoracoscopic surgery using a camera called a thoracoscope has become the standard method due to advances in endoscopic technology, and is a less invasive and cosmetic operation compared to conventional thoracotomy. Thoracoscopic surgery is performed by inserting a thoracoscope and a number of surgical instruments through a few centimeter incisions in the chest. In contrast, thoracoscopic surgery restricts the position of the incision for anatomical reasons. Therefore, we attempted to solve this problem by developing a surgical supporting device that can virtually provide an incision at an arbitrary location. From the result of subjective evaluation from an expert respiratory surgeon, it was pointed out that the load when operating proposed device, but the concept was highly evaluated. It was also indicated the possibility that could be applied not only to normal thoracoscopic surgery but also to single‒port endoscopic surgery. Key words：Thoracoscope, Endoscopic Surgery, Virtual Incision
