This video demonstrates a robotic adaptation of a previously described video-assisted thoracic surgery technique for radial plication of the left hemidiaphragm.
July 7, 2025
This video demonstrates how practical simulation using a 3D lung model can serve as valuable training for thoracic surgery residents, helping them understand and perform the steps involved in a pulmonary lobectomy.
July 3, 2025
This multicenter retrospective study compared video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for anterior mediastinal lesions in 1,076 patients across three Chinese centers.
June 30, 2025
This video demonstrates a step-by-step video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for an intrapericardial left pneumonectomy due to a centrally located lung tumor, highlighting key technical tips.
June 18, 2025
This prospective observational study examined the association between Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) scores and postoperative pain in 100 patients undergoing multiportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy.
June 5, 2025
This video demonstrates the case of a 67-year-old male who was found to have a right lower lobe carcinoid tumor invading bronchus intermedius; thus, a robotic-assisted right middle and lower lobe bilobectomy was performed.
May 27, 2025
This video highlights the surgical steps involved in a successful uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery segment 7 segmentectomy in a 67-year-old male with rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma.
May 15, 2025
This video demonstrates how practical simulation on a 3D lung model can be a useful training tool for thoracic surgery residents to understand and perform the steps of a pulmonary lobectomy.
May 7, 2025
This retrospective analysis compared three-port and four-port robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)(n=121, 2020–2021). Demographics, tumor characteristics, complications, and lymph node yields were similar between groups.
