Abstract

BACKGROUND: The da Vinci Si version robot lacks a vascular stapler that can be controlled by the operating surgeon at the surgical console when dividing pulmonary vessels. Therefore, to initiate and safely perform robotic anatomical lobectomy for lung cancer, it is important to develop a safe method for introducing a surgical stapler.
