The purpose of this study is to establish a deep learning automatic assistance diagnosis system for benign and malignant classification of mediastinal lesions in endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) images. EBUS images are in the form of video and contain...
Ectopic parathyroid tissue in the mediastinum represents a rare and potentially serious clinical entity with challenging diagnostic and surgical management. The main surgical approach for this issue is open thoracotomy, which is a safe technique but ...
Advances in imaging technology have dramatically increased the resolution of CT and improved detection of disease; these advances also have led to an increase in incidentalomas or incidental findings that often do not represent significant disease. I...
The surgical instruments used in robot-assisted thoracic surgery are flexible to enable the surgeon to approach the surgical field from any direction. However even in robot-assisted thoracic surgery subcarinal lymph node dissection requires a precise...
BACKGROUND: In oncology, the correct determination of nodal metastatic disease is essential for patient management, as patient treatment and prognosis are closely linked to the stage of the disease. The aim of the study was to develop a tool for auto...
BACKGROUND: Given the worldwide popularization of conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-MIE), robot-assisted MIE (RAMIE) can be expected to provide a finer procedure. However, controversy remains regarding whether RAMIE is superior to C-MI...

Surgery for mediastinal and chest wall tumors requires various approaches, including open and thoracoscopic, depending on the size and localization of the tumor. While robotic surgery for anterior mediastinal tumors has become a standardized approach...
