Latest AI and machine learning research in thoracic surgery for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: To assess the feasibility, clinical utility, and safety of intrathoracic robotic-sewn esophageal anastomosis (IrEA) during Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma of the lower third of the esophagus, or cancer at the gastro-esophageal junction type I (Siewert classification).
BACKGROUND: In the West, patients with cervical lymph node metastasis of resectable esophageal cancer at diagnosis are generally precluded from curative treatment. This study prospectively explored the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) with three-field lymphadenectomy for these patients.
Transthoracic subtotal esophagectomy with two-field lymph node (mediastinal and abdominal) and monobloc posterior mediastinectomy is called Ivor Lewis...
Salvage surgery for esophageal cancer after definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is effective, but it is associated with a high rate of perioperative c...
BACKGROUND: Studies of robotic lobectomy (Robot-L) have been performed using data from high-volume, specialty centers which may not be generalizable. ...
The new da Vinci® single-port (SP) robotic system, which utilizes a smaller incision and work space compared to the previous versions, is suitable for...
Esophagectomy is the selected treatment for nonmetastatic esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer, although high perioperative morbidity and mo...
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the short-term effect of Da Vinci robot-assisted thoracoscopic (RATS) bronchial sleeve lobectomy, so as to summarize its safety ...
The use of robotic surgery has increased exponentially in the United States. Despite this uptick in popularity, no standardized training pathway exist...
INTRODUCTION: Sarcopenia is a known risk factor for adverse outcomes after esophageal cancer (EC) surgery. Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagec...
As robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) expands to smaller centres, platforms are shared between specialities. Healthcare providers must consider case volum...
OBJECTIVES: Lobectomy may unnecessarily resect healthy lung parenchyma in Stage 1A non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Segmentectomies may provide a ...
Robot-assisted minimal access surgery (MAS), compared with conventional MAS, has shown a number of benefits across several therapeutic indications but...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing robot-assisted McKeown esophagectomy (RAME) and the learnin...
The standard of care for esophageal malignancies has evolved over the years from open transthoracic esophagectomy to a minimally invasive approach due...
BACKGROUND: Evidence on the added value of robotic-assistance in the abdominal phase during esophagectomy is scarce. In 2003, our center implemented t...
The trend towards performing robotic-assisted operations in thoracic surgery has been increasing in the last decade. The well-known advantages of vide...
PURPOSE: The accuracy of lymph node (LN) dissection in robotic surgery for lung cancer remains controversial. We compared the accuracy of LN dissectio...
PURPOSE: Minimally invasive en-bloc esophagectomy is associated with a reduction of postoperative morbidity. This was demonstrated for both total mini...
