Category: Robotic Technology in Thoracic Diseases Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide.() It is estimated that about 50% of patients with CRC develop metastasis during follow-up, most commonly in the liver followed by the lung. Lung metastasis is seen in approximately 10 – 15% of patients diagnosed with CRC.(,) Pulmonary metastasectomy is the treatment with the best survival rate.() Due to the high incidence of lung recurrence, in approximately 50% of cases, parenchyma-sparing lung […]

Category: Robotic Technology in Thoracic Diseases Introduction: Recent two randomized studies have demonstrated that for lung cancers peripherally and smaller <2cm, segmentectomy accompanied by intraoperative lymph node assessment is as effective as lobectomy in terms of overall survival.() The video presents a comprehensive guide to performing a right robotic segmentectomy, specifically of segments 9 of the lung.() This includes a thorough hilar and mediastinal nodal dissection. Additionally, the video showcases the application of Indocyanine Green (ICG) to accurately identify the […]

RESUMO A identificação intraoperatória de certas estruturas anatômicas, por seu tamanho ou por elas serem ocultas à visão, pode ser desafiadora. O desenvolvimento da cirurgia minimamente invasiva trouxe dificuldades adicionais, pela falta da sensibilidade tátil completa. Diversas formas de detecção intraoperatória destas estruturas têm sido tentadas. Recentemente, a tecnologia de fluorescência infravermelha com verde de indocianina foi associada às plataformas robóticas. Além disso, essa tecnologia tem sido testada em uma variedade de cirurgias, e suas vantagens parecem estar ligadas a […]
