Robotic Thoracic Surgery
This retrospective validation study compared conventional hard boundary objective performance indicators (OPIs) with probabilistic expected OPIs that model uncertainty in surgical step timing. Using 1,016 da Vinci Xi robotic cases across seven procedures, including 238...
Mediastinal and intrathoracic germ cell tumors are rare in the pediatric population, and extragonadal yolk sac tumors presenting as giant thoracic masses are rarer still. These tumors pose a dual...
This video presents the authors’ standardized technique for multiportal robotic-assisted left pneumonectomy after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy, using a five-step hilar dissection based on the principles of the French lobectomy approach. In...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Bart P. van Putte, a cardiothoracic surgeon at the St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein, Netherlands, and the Amsterdam University...

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...
The patient is a sixty-seven-year-old woman, nonsmoker, with a history of ocular myasthenia gravis and a strong family history of autoimmune disease. First, a chest CT scan was performed, which...
Recently, a subxiphoid approach has become popular in thoracic surgery because it provides more freedom of movement, as there is no limitation by the ribs, and it avoids trauma to...
Following resistance to targeted treatment, oligoprogression can occur whereby a previously controlled site or sites of metastases progress after the majority of other sites of disease stabilize on systemic therapy....
