This video submission is from the 2025 CTSNet Innovation Video Competition. Watch all entries from the competition, including the winning videos. In this video, the patient was a 30-year-old man...
In this video, the authors present a multiportal robotic right upper lobectomy performed with a vein-sparing strategy, in which the superior pulmonary vein was not dissected. The patient was a...
In this video, the authors present the performance of a trisegmentectomy in the context of an anatomical variation, where the B3 bronchus arose from the lingular bronchus. They described the...
This video demonstrates a multiportal, robot-assisted left segmentectomy combining the superior segment (S6) with segment S9. A 68-year-old man had a 29 mm left lower lobe mass. His medical history...
Vascular injuries during robotic thoracic surgery are rare but potentially life-threatening. Prompt control of bleeding is essential to avoid hemodynamic instability and the need for conversion to open surgery. This...
In open and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) pulmonary surgery, direct palpation allows surgeons to locate small or deep pulmonary nodules with the sense of touch. However, in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery...
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung malformation characterized by non-functioning lung tissue with a systemic arterial supply, usually from the aorta. Surgical removal is indicated to prevent infection, bleeding,...
The French lobectomy is a standardized robotic technique designed to improve reproducibility and enhance educational value in thoracic surgical training. Based on five anatomical exposure and dissection zones, the technique...
At the 2024 European Society of Thoracic Surgeons Meeting, CTSNet Editor-In-Chief Joel Dunning set out to interview and record presentations from the most knowledgeable CT surgeons from around the world....
The authors present a robotic-assisted approach for first rib resection. Traditionally, first rib resection is performed through conventional open surgery, often using either a supraclavicular or transaxillary approach, each with...
Endobronchial carcinoid tumors require bronchoplasty, which can control the resection margins and subsequent postobstruction secretions and potential infection focus. For the classical open thoracotomy cases, bronchoplasty is performed with classical...
