Robotic-assisted right medial and anterior basal segmentectomy (S7+S8)

Robotic-assisted right hepatectomy via anterior approach for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Major hepatic resection, especially right hepatectomy, has been successfully performed by specialized hepatobiliary centers using the robotic platform with low morbidity, conversion rates and outcomes comparable to laparoscopic and open surgery. The authors report a case of robotic-assisted right hepatectomy done for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma using anterior approach, after right portal ve...

Robotic-Assisted Live Donor Ileal Segmentectomy for Intestinal Transplantation

BACKGROUND Every effort should be made to optimize surgical techniques and to minimize potential morbidity rates associated with live donor operations. Advances in a minimally invasive approach by robotic surgery to donor nephrectomy have raised the possibility of applying this technique to live donor bowel resections for intestinal transplantation. METHODS We report the first 5 consecutive c...

Total thoracoscopic lung segmentectomy of anterior basal segment of the right lower lobe (RS8) for NSCLC stage IA (case report)

A 69-year-old woman with a pulmonary nodule in anterior basal segment of the right lower lobe (RS8) was referred to our department. The diameter of the tumor was 12 mm, and it had increased over a few months. First, video-assisted thoracoscopic lung surgery (VATS) biopsy of the pulmonary nodule was carried out. Frozen section examination of this nodule confirmed the diagnosis of bronchioloalveo...

Left sleeve Basal segmentectomy for broncholithiasis.

Broncholithiasis is an uncommon pulmonary problem that may present with life-threatening complications. We report one case of broncholithiasis. A 49-year-old female presented with hemoptysis. Chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) showed left interlobar lymph node calcification near the interlobar pulmonary artery, and calcification continued into the basal bronchus. Bronchoscopy demonstrated...
