Feasibility and safety of robot-assisted thoracic surgery for lung lobectomy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

World journal of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) lobectomy versus video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for lobectomy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Surgery for predominant lesion in nonlocalized bronchiectasis.

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Patients with nonlocalized bronchiectasis are encountered commonly; however, there is little information regarding surgical intervention in this patient population. The aim of this study was to evaluate symptomatic response and safety of a...

Beating Heart Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery in Patients With Patent Coronary Bypass Grafts.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Redo mitral valve surgery in patients with patent coronary bypass grafts carries a risk of graft injury and postoperative bleeding. We compare early results of reoperative minimally invasive on-pump beating heart mitral valve surgery (OPB...

[Minimally Invasive Robot-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Mediastinal Tumor].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery( RATS) and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery are minimally invasive surgical approaches to the chest wall that avoid sternotomy. We report on the innovations in RATS mediastinal tumor surgery performed in our d...

[Active Utilization of Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery in Educational Institution].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery( MICS) has emerged in 1990s. Nowadays, MICS via mini thoracotomy became popular for valvular heart disease. Robot-assisted cardiac surgery was introduced with extension to MICS. Robot-assisted cardiac surgery for va...

[Our Experience and Technical Improvement in Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Since 2014, we have used the da Vinci surgical system to perform internal thoracic artery harvest in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB), and since 2016, we have also performed robot-assisted cardiac surgery( RACS) for mitral an...

[Experience of Thoracotomy and Robot-assisted Bronchial Sleeve Resection 
after Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy for Local Advanced Central Lung Cancer].

Zhongguo fei ai za zhi = Chinese journal of lung cancer
BACKGROUND: Immunoneoadjuvant therapy opens a new prospect for local advanced lung cancer. The aim of our study was to explore the safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted bronchial sleeve resection in patients with locally advanced non-small cell ...

Robotic open-thoracotomy-view approach using vertical port placement and confronting monitor setting.

Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery
OBJECTIVES: Robotic lung resections (RLRs) are conventionally performed using look-up views of the thorax from the caudal side. To conduct RLR with views similar to those in open thoracotomy, we adopted a vertical port placement and confronting upsid...
