Robotic sleeve lobectomy with four arms for lung cancer centrally located in the right lower lobe: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sleeve lobectomy can preserve healthy lung parenchyma in centrally located lung cancer surgery. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has been shown to have better results for postoperative complications than thoracotomy lobectomy. However, its limitations in visualization of operative field and handling of instruments restrain surgeons performing sleeve lobectomy. Robotic surgery has several advantages, including magnified 3-dimensional vision and angulation of the robot arm that can provide better circumstances for sleeve lobectomy than VATS. However, robotic sleeve lobectomy has been rarely reported. Here, we describe our experience of performing robotic sleeve lobectomy using four arms for lung cancer centrally located in the right lower lobe.

The Knowledge of variations in the lung can help surgeons to control bleeding during pulmonary lobectomy or might be used to reduce post-operative complications. Due to the importance of the knowledge of variations in lungs for clinicians, especially surgeons and radiologists, we report a case with lung lobe and fissure. During the autopsy of a 27-year-old man at the Legal Medicine Organizatio...

A preliminary report is made on the use of videothoracoscopy to achieve pulmonary lobectomy in 16 patients, including 12 with centrally located pulmonary metastases and 4 with benign lesions (3 bronchiectases and 1 endobronchial hamartoma). Videothoracoscopy was performed on eight right-lower lobes, one middle lobe, two right-upper lobes, four left-lower lobes, and one left-upper lobe with a th...
متن کاملSacrificing the pulmonary arterial branch to the spared lobe is a risk factor of bronchopleural fistula in sleeve lobectomy after chemoradiotherapy.
OBJECTIVES A sleeve lobectomy is a widely accepted procedure for enabling the pulmonary parenchyma to be spared. Induction chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery is one treatment option for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but CRT is considered to have a negative effect on subsequent surgery, especially for anastomotic healing. In this study, we describe our experience ...
