The authors present the first robotic lung resection following neoadjuvant therapy at their institution. This case involved a female patient who presented with a partial clinical response to right upper lobe adenocarcinoma. Intraoperatively, there was hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy and inflammatory tissue reaction, which made dissection challenging. The robot facilitated visualization and fine dissection of planes to identify hilar structures and isolate vessels.
The authors demonstrate that robotic-assisted surgery following neoadjuvant treatment is safe and feasible, offering the advantage of improving visualization and dissection under direct vision.
