Console and bedside surgeon fused robot-assisted thoracic surgery.

General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
In the last decade, even thoracic surgery has seen an increase in the use of robotic surgical systems, and robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is considered one of the main issues. While RATS is associated with solo manipulative freedom and high-d...

Stapler port position determination using 3-dimensional virtual simulation software in robot-assisted thoracic surgery.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: In robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) lobectomy using a robotic stapler, stapling is difficult when the stapler port place is close to the resection target vessel. We examined whether three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) soft...

[Robotics in thoracic surgery].

Pneumologie (Stuttgart, Germany)
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...

Day surgery unit robotics thoracic surgery: feasibility and management.

Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology
BACKGROUND: Day surgery has been widely carried out in medical developed countries such as Europe and the United States with high efficiency, safety and economy. The development of thoracic day surgery started late, and currently only a few top three...

Robot-assisted thoracic surgery for stages IIB-IVA non-small cell lung cancer: retrospective study of feasibility and outcome.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for higher stages non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) remains controversial. This study reports the feasibility of RATS in patients with stages IIB-IVA NSCLC. A single-institute, retrospective study was conduc...

[Robots in visceral and thoracic surgery-Quo vadis?].

Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany)
Robotic surgical systems are now an inherent part of the German hospital landscape. In recent years, there has been an enormous increase in installed systems and operations performed, especially in abdominal surgery. Even though there is a lack of st...

Accuracy and efficiency of an artificial intelligence-based pulmonary broncho-vascular three-dimensional reconstruction system supporting thoracic surgery: retrospective and prospective validation study.

EBioMedicine
BACKGROUND: Anthropomorphic phantoms are used in surgical planning and intervention. Ideal accuracy and high efficiency are prerequisites for its clinical application. We aimed to develop a fully automated artificial intelligence-based three-dimensio...

[Robot-assisted Mediastinal Surgery].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie
Because of the many important anatomical structures located closely together at very small distances, mediastinal surgery has been traditionally demanding and challenging within thoracic surgery. With their great variability, mediastinal masses in th...

[Robotic-assisted Thoracic Surgery: Currently Available Standard Systems and Future Developments].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie
The trend towards performing robotic-assisted operations in thoracic surgery has been increasing in the last decade. The well-known advantages of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in comparison to the open approach are also valid for robotic sur...

[Robot-assisted Thoracic Surgery: Learning Curve and Cost Analysis in a German High-Volume Centre].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie
Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is a rapidly evolving surgical technique in Europe. The aim of the study was to analyse the learning curve and safety during the establishment of a RATS-program at a high-volume thoracic surgery centre and to qu...
