Robotic Thoracic Surgery
This clinical video demonstrates the preservation of a replaced left hepatic artery during the creation of a gastric conduit in a robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) for post-neoadjuvant esophageal adenocarcinoma. The patient was a 61-year-old...
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,...
In this narrated video, Choe and Park present the case of a 56-year old woman with T3N0M0 lung cancer, who underwent robotic lobectomy with concomitant chest wall resection.
...This video demonstrates a robot-assisted upper left lobectomy as surgical treatment for a patient with a lung adenocarcinoma that had been previously submitted to immunotherapy. It was performed with the...
In this surgical video, Durand presents a four-arm robotic sleeve right upper lobectomy and node harvest. The patient was a 60-year old man who had been diagnosed with a proximal...
Melfi and colleagues present a keynote lecture outlining the evolution of robotic thoracic surgery. The robotic technique in thoracic surgery has progressively become widespread, particularly for the treatment of mediastinal...
This presentation is about a robotic S9-S10 segmentectomy assisted by a multimodal reconstruction imaging system. In the literature, several series report experiences of robot-assisted segmentectomy for benign or malignant pathologies....
Buitrago and Restrepo report the largest series to date from Latin America of patients undergoing robot-assisted thoracic surgery. A total of 69 patients underwent robot-assisted procedures with 47 undergoing pulmonary...
Find it here: The SCTS “Take on the Experts” Video Competition On Tuesday, March 12, the top four cardiac and top three thoracic videos submitted for this session of the...
The authors demonstrate a robotic right lower lobectomy with utilization of subxiphoid assistant port. The patient was a 73-year-old man who underwent surgery for a 35 mm lung nodule secondary...
