This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated whether three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and virtual simulation improve outcomes in thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Ten studies (n=1,424; 772 3D vs 652 non-3D) were included.

Minimally Invasive
September 29, 2025
This video shows the feasibility and reproducibility of endoscopic minimally invasive excision for left ventricular glomus tumors.
September 25, 2025
This video demonstrates a detailed technique to close the left atrial appendage through a right minithoracotomy.
September 24, 2025
This video illustrates a step-by-step technique for controlling vascular injuries during robotic thoracic surgery using a collagen-based hemostatic patch, preserving the minimally invasive approach and avoiding conversion to open surgery.
September 23, 2025
This video demonstrates that repeat right axillary thoracotomy is safe and feasible, even in redo settings, as it maintains cosmetic superiority and facilitates rapid functional recovery while achieving the anatomical repair as needed.
September 17, 2025
This video demonstrates how to use visual cues to compensate for the lack of tactile feedback during robotic pulmonary resections, enabling the accurate identification of lesions despite the absence of physical palpation.
September 12, 2025
At the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery Annual Scientific Meeting 2025, Dr. Danny Ramzy, professor and chief of cardiac surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, delivered a presentation titled “Robotic Myectomy: Transaortic Approach.”
September 11, 2025
This video demonstrates the application of minimally invasive cardiac surgery in patients with tetralogy of Fallot requiring multiple intracardiac repairs.
September 11, 2025
This single-center study assessed the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive total arterial off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS-CABG) via left minithoracotomy in obese patients (BMI ≥30) compared to nonobese controls. Among 279 patients (2015–2023), 56 were obese.
