Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Multivessel Coronary Bypass Guided by Computerized Tomography.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery is one of the least invasive approaches that offers multivessel revascularization and accelerated recovery. We investigated the benefits of computed tomography angiography (CTA) gui...

Robot-Assisted Excision of a Left Ventricular Myxoma and Hemangioma.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)
Left ventricular masses are rare entities that often require surgical excision when diagnosed due to the risk of embolization. We report 2 separate patients presenting with evidence of cerebral embolization both of whom were diagnosed with isolated l...

[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...

Initial perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy using a confronting setting.

Surgery today
PURPOSE: Most robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is performed from the vertical view. This study evaluates the initial outcomes of our novel confronting RATS technique, in which the patient was viewed horizontally, as in open thoracotomy.

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...

Robotic Pneumonectomy for Lung Cancer: Perioperative Outcomes and Factors Leading to Conversion to Thoracotomy.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)
OBJECTIVE: In the tide of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, few cases of robot-assisted pneumonectomy exist in the literature. This study evaluates the perioperative outcomes and risk factors for conversion to thoracotomy with an initial rob...

Initial results of pulmonary resection after neoadjuvant nivolumab in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer.

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: We conducted a phase I trial of neoadjuvant nivolumab, a monoclonal antibody to the programmed cell death protein 1 checkpoint receptor, in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. We analyzed perioperative outcomes to assess t...

Robotic Hybrid Approach for an Anterior Pancoast Tumor in a Severely Obese Patient.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
Several different surgical approaches to anterior Pancoast tumors have been proposed. The osteomuscular-sparing transmanubrial approach allows optimal exposure and control of apical chest wall structures, but it requires an additional thoracotomy to ...

B-type Natriuretic Peptide and Other Risk Factors for Predicting Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation after Thoracic Surgery.

The Thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon
BACKGROUND: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is associated with increased morality rate, prolonged hospitalization, and reduced long-term survival after surgery. Thus, prediction of POAF is important to assess surgical risk and provide prophy...
