A Bronchial Puncture Mechanism for Transoral Access to the Lung Parenchyma
More people die from lung cancer each year than any other form of cancer. Over 150,000 lives are lost to the disease each year in the United States alone [1]. Early detection is critical in reducing the mortality rate, and despite advances in imaging, biopsy remains the only definitive diagnostic tool. The most common lung biopsy approaches are percutaneous and transoral. Percutaneous biopsy pu...

متن کاملToward Transoral Peripheral Lung Access: Combining Continuum Robots and Steerable Needles.
Lung cancer is the most deadly form of cancer in part because of the challenges associated with accessing nodules for diagnosis and therapy. Transoral access is preferred to percutaneous access since it has a lower risk of lung collapse, yet many sites are currently unreachable transorally due to limitations with current bronchoscopic instruments. Toward this end, we present a new robotic syste...
متن کامل[Transbronchial lung biopsy using cryoprobes].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) is a bronchoscopy procedure used to obtain peripheral lung tissue. Small size samples and artefacts lead to variable, and usually poor, diagnostic yield. The use of cryoprobes may enable larger size and better quality biopsy samples to be obtained. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of TBLB with cryoprobes and an...
متن کاملThe Effects of Bronchoscope Diameter on the Diagnostic Yield of Transbronchial Lung Biopsy of Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules
BACKGROUND Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) is a valuable diagnostic tool for peripheral pulmonary lesions. The diagnostic yield of TBLB reportedly ranges from 41%-60%. Many studies demonstrated the various factors that influence the yield of TBLB, including size, location, and distance from the carina or pleura. However, no study has evaluated the effects of the bronchoscope diameter. We eval...
