Robot-assisted Lobectomy under Port-only Mode with Artificial Pneumothorax / 中国肺癌杂志

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Da Vinci robotic system is currently widely used in thoracic surgery. The ports employment and procedures vary in different medical center in China. Usually, a small incision was used for assistant.@*METHODS@#Based on clinical practice, we summarized domestic and foreign experience, combined with the characteristics of the Chinese body anatomy, employ portal technique and artificial pneumothorax, summarized a set of simplified and easier surgical method.@*RESULTS@#Port-only artificial pneumothorax robot-assisted lobectomy has further improvement in anatomical safety, hemostatic effect and aesthetic appearance of the wound.@*CONCLUSIONS@#This study optimizes the procedure of port-only artificial pneumothorax robot-assisted lobectomy in order to serve lung cancer patients better.
