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...
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 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...

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...
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...

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...
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...
