Minimally invasive sublobar anatomical resection is becoming more and more popular to
manage early lung lesions. Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is unique in …

To perform robotic lung resections with views similar to those in thoracotomy, we devised a
vertical port placement and confronting upside-down monitor setting: the three-arm, robotic …

The development of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has promoted three
dimensional (3D) images of lung structures. It is possible to see the vascular and bronchial …

Background The objective of our pilot study was to assess if three-dimensional (3D)
reconstruction performed by Visible Patient™ could be helpful for the operative planning …

Objective: Interactive three-dimensional virtual models of pulmonary structures (3D-CT) may
improve the safety and accuracy of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). The aim of this …

Background There has been an increasing trend toward pulmonary segmentectomies to
treat early-stage lung cancer, small intrapulmonary metastases, and localized benign …

A recent randomized trial demonstrated the survival superiority of lung segmentectomy over
lobectomy in patients with early stage, small-sized lung cancer. Hence, there is a pressing …

The use of robotic technology in general thoracic surgical practice continues to expand
across various institutions and at this point many major common thoracic surgical …

BACKGROUND: Robotic lobectomy with radical lymph node dissection is a new frontier of
minimally invasive thoracic surgery. Series of sublobar anatomic resection for primary initial …

Simple Summary Due to the increasing incidence of early-stage lung cancer and the
demand for less invasive surgeries, sublobar resections are rapidly increasing in the field of …
