Robotic Thoracic Surgery
The role of surgery in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is continuously evolving with the introduction of effective neoadjuvant systemic treatments. Beyond tumor reduction, treatment response may influence surgical decision-making by improving resectability...
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...
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...
