Robotic Lobectomy.

Journal: Thoracic surgery clinics
Published Date: Feb 1, 2023

Abstract

Robotic lobectomy volume in the United States has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. Improved perioperative outcomes and increased public demand for minimally invasive techniques continue to drive its popularity. Preoperative workup is similar to VATs lobectomy and includes appropriate tumor staging, pulmonary function tests, and imaging. Severe intraoperative complications are rare but can be catastrophic; individualized response to each is required.
