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 …

Lobectomies have long been the gold standard for surgical treatment of early-stage non-
small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with segmentectomies limited to instances of benign …

Background Pulmonary segmentectomy provides an anatomic lung resection while avoiding
removal of excess normal lung tissue. This may be beneficial in patients with minimal …

Background Robotic segmentectomy has been suggested as a safe and effective
management for early lung cancer and benign lung diseases. However, no large case …

Pulmonary segmentectomy is an anatomical sublobar resection for which the segmental
pulmonary artery, vein, and bronchus are dissected and divided. Segmentectomy offers a …

Background Robotic anatomic segmentectomy (RATS) for early-stage lung cancer is being
increasingly performed in spite of limited published evidence. To evaluate its safety and …

Objectives Lobectomy may unnecessarily resect healthy lung parenchyma in Stage 1A non-
small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Segmentectomies may provide a lung-sparing option …

Objectives Since anatomical segmentectomy requires meticulous dissection of the
segmental pulmonary vessels and bronchus, robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) …

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the thoracic robotic approach
in a high-volume center regarding procedures and clinical outcomes after 1,000 procedures …

Several approaches to the resection of lung cancer are now available within the
armamentarium of the thoracic surgeon. Robotic-assisted surgery has emerged as a …
