Right upper lobe resection assisted by Toumai® endoscopic surgery robot in two patients / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To analyze the efficacy and safety of Toumai® endoscopic surgery robot in right upper lobe resection. Methods    The clinical data of 2 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who received right upper lobe resection with Toumai® endoscopic surgery robot in Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Both patients were male, aged 66 years and 44 years, respectively. Results    The operation was successful in both patients with no conversion to thoracotomy, surgical complication or death. The operation time was 65 min and 48 min, and the amount of intraoperative bleeding was 80 mL and 50 mL, respectively. The postoperative hospital stay was 3 days. There was no blood transfusion during the perioperative period. Conclusion    The application of Toumai® endoscopic surgery robot in lobectomy is preliminarily proved to be safe and effective. Compared with Da Vinci robotic surgery system, it has similar clear 3D vision and flexible and stable operation, which can become one of the important choices for the new generation of minimally invasive chest surgery.
