The role of segmentectomy for lung cancer is expected to increase owing to the results of Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) 0802. Moreover, the major advantage of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is that it allows high precision of dissectio...
PURPOSE: Most robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is performed from the vertical view. This study evaluates the initial outcomes of our novel confronting RATS technique, in which the patient was viewed horizontally, as in open thoracotomy.
Although robotic segmentectomy has been applied for the treatment of small pulmonary lesions for many years, studies on the learning curve of robotic segmentectomy are quite limited. Thus, we aim to investigate the learning curve of robotic portal se...
BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to compare the short-term outcomes between robot-assisted segmentectomy (RAS) and video-assisted segmentectomy (VAS) for small pulmonary nodules.
The increasing diffusion of the robotic-assisted technique in thoracic surgery (RATS) in Germany was initially delayed in comparison with other countries. Therefore, there is a large potential to implement the volume of the surgical procedures perfor...
To investigate the perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent robot-assisted thoracoscopic (RATS) segmentectomy for identifying the intersegmental plane (ISP) by improved modified inflation-deflation (MID) combined with near-infrared fluorescen...
INTRODUCTION: B downward-shifting is a rare bronchial anomaly characterized by abnormal pulmonary arteries associated with downward displacement of B and complete fusion between the right upper and middle lobes.
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is a rapidly expanding technique. In our study, we aimed to analyze the results of the process to adopt robotic surgery in our Department of Thoracic Surgery.
Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgical (U-VATS) and telerobotic techniques have become widely adopted strategies for lung resection and represent a natural progression born of advancing technologic innovation and decades of expanding clinical exp...
