Lung Parenchyma Sparing Resection for Pulmonary Malignancies

Laparoscopic Parenchyma-sparing Liver Resection for Colorectal Metastases

Background Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) of colorectal liver metastases (CLM) is increasingly performed in specialized centers. While there is a trend towards a parenchyma-sparing strategy in multimodal treatment for CLM, its role is yet unclear. In this study we present short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic parenchyma-sparing liver resection (LPSLR) at a single center. Patients ...

Robot Assisted Pulmonary Resection

The term ‘robot’ originates from the Slavonic term ‘robota’ which means forced labor but was made famous by the 1921 Czech play Rossum's Universal Robots (RUR) written by Karel Capek [1]. Thus, the robotic systems used in surgery today are not true robots because they lack independent motions or preprogrammed actions but are more accurately described as computer-enhanced telemanipulator systems...

Robot-assisted resection of pulmonary sequestrations.

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation and may cause recurrent infections and hemoptysis. Although video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is feasible, some drawbacks remain, mainly dealing the managing of anomalous vessels. We describe the use of a robotic system (da Vinci Robotic System, Surgical Intuitive, Mountain View, CA, USA) in the treatment of four consecutive cases o...

parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy for benign pancreatic neoplasms

context the current literature suggests that minimally invasive surgery is associated with faster recovery and less morbidity than open surgery. parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy is minimally invasive surgery, including enucleation, inferior head pancreatectomy, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and central pancreatectomy, combined pancreatectomy such as inferior head pancreatectomy plus...
