Abstract
Aim: We report our four-arm robotic bronchial sleeve anatomical lung resection technique and its early results.
Highlights
Telemanipulation surgery is a significant revolution in thoracic surgery
Two trends are noticed in this area: the merger of sublobar resections[1] and bronchial sleeve resections[2]
We focus on the technical details of bronchial sleeve resections and report the early results of our experience
Summary
Telemanipulation surgery is a significant revolution in thoracic surgery It allows minimizing the chest trauma while preserving-or enhancing-the surgeon’s skills and vision, allows bimanual surgery, provides a 3rd hand, and gives 3D magnified vision. This is of greatest interest for complex procedures that are performed to spare the patient’s lung function. Two trends are noticed in this area: the merger of sublobar resections[1] and bronchial sleeve resections[2]. These 2 approaches require advanced skills that can be provided by the telemanipulator. We focus on the technical details of bronchial sleeve resections and report the early results of our experience
