Abstract
Robotic lobectomy has been evolving over the past decade and has been shown to be an oncologically efficacious procedure. The Technique of Robotic Lobectomy I outlined the stepwise approach to robotic lobectomy of the right upper, right middle and right lower lobes. This paper outlines the stepwise technical approach to robotic lobectomy of the left upper and lower lobes. The accompanying paper, Technique of Robotic Lobectomy III: Control of Bleeding Complications, outlines a methodical technical approach for the control of catastrophic bleeding complications.
Highlights
Cerfolio reported the technique of four-arm completely port-based lobectomy in 2011[1,2]
The station #7 nodal bundle is accessed between the inferior pulmonary vein and the left mainstem bronchus
The Cadiere forceps is to pass under the anterior branch of the pulmonary artery, a vessel loop is used to encircle and elevate the artery branch, and it is divided with a stapler with a white vascular cartridge, which is introduced from a medial to lateral direction [Figure 13]
