Robotic Thoracic Surgery
This study evaluated the Autonomous Blood Drawing Optimization and Performance Testing (ADOPT) trial, which assessed the performance, safety, and patient experience of an autonomous robotic phlebotomy device (ARPD) utilizing multimodal imaging. The results demonstrated analytical...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Traves Crabtree, Professor and Chair of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Medical Director of the Surgical Skills Laboratory...
A 27-year-old male previously underwent bilateral T2–T3 sympathicotomy for severe palmar hyperhidrosis. Compensatory hyperhidrosis involving the trunk developed one year after the initial procedure and progressively became debilitating. Seven years...
This study evaluated the Autonomous Blood Drawing Optimization and Performance Testing (ADOPT) trial, which assessed the performance, safety, and patient experience of an autonomous robotic phlebotomy device (ARPD) utilizing multimodal...
This video demonstrates the implantation of bilateral phrenic nerve pacing leads using a robotic subxiphoid approach without lung isolation. This approach was utilized because the patient presented with central hypoventilation...
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...
