Robotic Thoracic Surgery
January 16, 2019
The authors demonstrate a robotic right lower lobectomy with utilization of subxiphoid assistant port for a 35 mm lung nodule secondary to metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon.
December 10, 2018
This video demonstrates how imaging-assisted surgery can enhance the prospects of robotic pulmonary segmentectomy.
December 3, 2018
This video demonstrates the utility of cadaveric simulation in preparation for a complete portal robotic carinal resection and reconstruction on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
September 26, 2018
This video demonstrates a robotic right upper lobe apical segmentectomy with a three-arm technique and a 10 mm assistant port as surgical treatment for a lung metastasis from colorectal carcinoma.
August 31, 2018
Grimminger and colleagues present their technique for a four-armed robotic approach to esophageal cancer surgery. The authors note the improved control and dexterity offered by the addition of the fourth arm, leading to greater surgeon independence in this complex procedure.
August 21, 2018
For high volume surgeons (defined as 20 or more annual lobectomies), the use of a robotic approach had a lower conversion to open rate and a lower complication rate, while having a mean operating time that was 25 min longer on average compared to a VATS approach.

Filmed at the 2018 STS Annual Meeting in Ft Lauderdale, FL, Joel Dunning of the James Cook University Hospital in London, UK, interviews Raja Flores of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, USA, about surgical treatment for mesothelioma and lung cancer.
July 2, 2018
This video demonstrates a robotic right upper lobectomy, performed using the Cerfolio method of port placement.
