Thoracic Surgery

Analysis of the short-term outcomes of biportal robot-assisted lobectomy.

BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to assess the short-term consequences of biportal robot-assisted lobectomy, validating its safety and effectiveness.

Dual scope method: A novel application of a simultaneous multi-image display system for a thoracoscopic robotic lobectomy.

The advantages of a multi-input display system platform in robotic thoracic surgery have not been well described. We report the novel application of a multi-display system for simultaneous visualization of an additional thoracoscopic image during a robotic lobectomy, which we have named the dual scope method. An additional thoracoscope is inserted from the bottom of the thoracic cavity. This thora...
