INTRODUCTION: Preparing appropriate red blood cells (RBCs) before surgery is crucial for improving both the efficacy of perioperative workflow and patient safety. In particular, thoracic surgery (TS) is a procedure that requires massive transfusion w...
Online health resources are important for patients seeking perioperative information on robotic cardiac and thoracic surgery. The value of the resources depends on their readability, accuracy, content, quality, and suitability for patient use. We sys...
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...
Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome is a novel approach that continues to increase in popularity due to advantages compared with traditional open first rib resection. Following publication of the Society...
Thanks to improved visualisation and instruments with an endowrist function, robot-assisted thoracic surgery has led to technical progress in thoracic surgery. This makes it easier to carry out complex thoracic surgical interventions, e.g. with an in...
