Robotic Thoracic Surgery
Treating patients with both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and severe obesity can be challenging. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy alone can exacerbate GERD symptoms and can induce GERD in asymptomatic patients (1). Obese patients have worse long-term...
This video demonstrates the case of a 51-year-old female patient with a history of smoking who presented with progressive dyspnea, hemoptysis, and status alteration. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest...
Treating patients with both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and severe obesity can be challenging. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy alone can exacerbate GERD symptoms and can induce GERD in asymptomatic patients (1)....
This article explores the pathways for and challenges and implications of integrating artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled humanoid robotic systems, or embodied AI, into operating rooms (ORs). While AI is being integrated...
This video completes a day of excellent presentations by leading surgeons exploring advanced minimally invasive techniques including congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD) surgery, endoscopic transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) explantation,...
Minimally invasive surgery is a reality in most surgical specialties. With new technological improvements, new instruments, better video support, anesthesia refinement, and robotic platforms allowing 3D view and extension of...
This is a video of an operation with the ArtiSential wristed instruments in VATS surgery. The operation featured a monopolar precise dissector. The author had not used a monopolar Maryland...
This video demonstrates a robotic diaphragm plication with a focus on technique and technical pearls. The patient is a seventy-two-year-old woman with a history of phrenic nerve paralysis secondary to...
Substernal goiter is a challenging disease. Surgical treatment is the standard based on symptoms, or for the risk of occult malignancy and the natural history of progressive enlargement (1). Resection...
This video demonstrates the first anatomical lung resection performed by the team at Southampton Hospital with the new Versius robotic system from CMR Surgical. The team has previous experience with...
The current treatment strategy for non-small cell lung cancer depends on clinical staging. Surgical resection is generally considered the treatment of choice in patients with stage I or II disease...
Uniportal robotic surgery is a relatively new technique that is being practiced in a few centers across the world. It offers the benefit of robotic surgery in a single incision....
Several studies have demonstrated the superiority of pulmonary resections coupled with bronchoplasty due to the possibility of preserving lung parenchyma in the context of a possible pneumonectomy. Likewise, the role...
