Application of Da Vinci Robot and Thoracoscopy in Radical Lung Cancer Surgery.

Journal of healthcare engineering
In this article, we have explored the feasibility and safety of Da Vinci's robotic surgery system in the radical resection of lung cancer. For this purpose, 73 cases of patients with lung cancer who underwent radical resection in the thoracic surgery...

Optimization of robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the lateral decubitus position.

Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society
BACKGROUND: On the introduction of robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (RATE), we refined the robotic system application to enhance our surgical experience obtained through thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE) in the lateral decubitus position (LD...

Triple-stapled quadrilateral anastomosis: a new technique for creation of an esophagogastric anastomosis.

Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society
BACKGROUND: Esophagogastric anastomosis performed after esophagectomy is technically complex and often the source of postoperative complications. The best technique for this anastomosis remains a matter of debate. We describe a new all-stapled side-t...

Robotic Mitral Valve Replacement in Pectus Excavatum.

Journal of cardiac surgery
Exposure of the mitral valve can be challenging using conventional sternotomy and thoracotomy incisions in patients with pectus deformity. We report the use of a robotic approach to replace a rheumatic mitral valve in a patient with pectus excavatum....

Oncologic Long-Term Results of Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Thoraco-Laparoscopic Esophagectomy with Two-Field Lymphadenectomy for Esophageal Cancer.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Open transthoracic esophagectomy is the worldwide gold standard in the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer. Robot-assisted minimally invasive thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy (RAMIE) for esophageal cancer may be associated with re...

[Robot-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Mediastinal Tumor in Our Department].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
In 2019, our facility introduced robot-assisted surgery for mediastinal tumors using da Vinci Si, which was upgrade to da Vinci X and Xi in 2021. Initially, the unilateral thoracic cavity approach was used for robot-assisted surgeries. The unilateral...

Robotic Mediastinal Surgery.

Thoracic surgery clinics
The robotic platform can be viewed as an advanced thoracoscopic instrument and can be utilized for any pathology amenable to thoracoscopic surgery. This ultimately comes down to surgeon comfort, but many have demonstrated the robotic approach to be u...

[A Paired Case Controlled Study Comparing the Short-term Outcomes of Da Vinci RATS and VATS Approach for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

Zhongguo fei ai za zhi = Chinese journal of lung cancer
BACKGROUND: Da Vinci Surgical System is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, which represents the development direction of the precise minimally invasive surgical techniques, the aim of this study was to comparing the short-term outcom...

[RETROPERITONEAL LIPOSARCOMA WITH MULTIPLE RECURRENCE OF LUNG METASTASES TREATED BY MULTIMODAL THERAPY CENTERING ON THE OPERATION: A CASE REPORT].

Nihon Hinyokika Gakkai zasshi. The japanese journal of urology
A 34-year-old man presented with scrotal pain and slight fever. The scrotal pain was improved by the treatment of antibiotics, but the slight fever remained and an abdominal protuberance appeared. Computed tomography showed a 22 cm abdominal tumor wi...
