Number of lymph nodes dissected and upstaging rate of the N factor in robot-assisted thoracic surgery versus video-assisted thoracic surgery for patients with cN0 primary lung cancer.

Surgery today
PURPOSE: The accuracy of lymph node (LN) dissection in robotic surgery for lung cancer remains controversial. We compared the accuracy of LN dissection in robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) vs. video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).

Development of a robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) program. Lessons learned after 2500 cases.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic surgery provides significant advantages in terms of an optimal three-dimensional and magnified view of the surgical field, superior maneuverability of surgical instruments, removal of surgeon's tremor and excellent ergonomics. Nonetheless, th...

Robot-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer patients with incomplete fissure.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted thoracic surgery has gradually been accepted as an alternative treatment for early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) owing to its advantages. However, severe incomplete interlobar fissure may lead to a high rate of c...

Robot-assisted thoracic surgery for intercostal cavernous hemangioma.

Thoracic cancer
Intercostal cavernous hemangioma is extremely rare among benign vascular tumors. Achieving a definitive diagnosis preoperatively by radiographic examination alone is difficult; surgical resection is usually needed. Occasional cases are found as giant...

Use of In-Situ Simulation Based Clinical Systems Test of Thoracic Robotic Surgery Emergencies.

The Journal of surgical research
INTRODUCTION: With the advancement of robotic surgery, some thoracic surgeons have been slow to adopt to this new operative approach, in part because they are un-scrubbed and away from the patient while operating. Aiming to allay surgeon concerns of ...

Development and validation of a machine learning method to predict intraoperative red blood cell transfusions in cardiothoracic surgery.

Scientific reports
Accurately predicting red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements in cardiothoracic (CT) surgery could improve blood inventory management and be used as a surrogate marker for assessing hemorrhage risk preoperatively. We developed a machine learnin...

Evaluation of the Postoperative Nursing Effect of Thoracic Surgery Assisted by Artificial Intelligence Robot.

Contrast media & molecular imaging
In order to evaluate the postoperative nursing effect of artificial intelligence robot-assisted thoracic surgery, this study proposed the Da Vinci robot-assisted pulmonary lobotomy, from January to December 2014; 42 patients (15 males and 27 females,...
