Robot-assisted Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy with intrathoracic robot-sewn anastomosis

This video clip demonstrated a performance of robot-assisted Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy with intrathoracic robot-sewn anastomosis. The patient had an esophageal mass located approximately 33 cm away from incisor, and robot-assisted Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy was applied for him. Importantly, a double-layer esophago-gastric anastomosis was made by robotic hand-sewn suture. Our early experience demonstrated that the robot-sewn intrathoracic anastomosis is feasible and safe with a lower complication rate and the absence of anastomotic leakage.

Ruijin robotic thoracic surgery: right S 6 segmentectomy

We are going to share the experience of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy. A 55-year-old patient underwent robotic-assisted thoracic surgery for a nodule in the right segment 6. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 3 without any perioperative complications. This case showed the robotic-assisted technique is a safe approach for lung segmentectomy.

Robot-assisted surgery for posterior superior mediastinal mass

We are going to share the experience of robotic surgery for mediastinal mass. A 40-year-old patient underwent robotic-assisted thoracic surgery for a posterior superior mediastinal mass. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 2 without any perioperative complications. The pathological diagnosis was mediastinal neurofibroma. Our result showed the robotic thoracic surgery of the posterior superior mediastinal mass was efficient and reliable.

Robotic thoracic surgery: S 1+2 segmentectomy of left upper lobe

We are going to share the experience of robotic surgery for lung segmentectomy. A 50-year-old patient underwent robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for a ground glass opacity (GGO) in the S 1+2 segment of left upper lobe. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 3 without any perioperative complications. The pathological stage was T1aN0M0 (stage IA). Our result showed the robotic approach was feasible and reliable for lung segmentectomy.

Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: right inferior lobectomy

Robotic-assisted surgery is now well established and has been introduced into the field of thoracic surgery. We are going to share the experience of robotic surgery for right inferior lobectomy. A 61-year-old patient underwent robotic-assisted thoracic surgery for a primary lung adenocarcinoma. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 6 without any perioperative complications. The pathological stage was T1aN0M0 (stage IA). Our result showed the robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was a safe and feasible surgical approach for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Robotic thoracic surgery: left inferior lobectomy

Robotic-assisted surgery is now well established and has been introduced into the field of thoracic surgery. We are going to share the experience of robotic surgery for left inferior lobectomy. A 44-year-old patient was underwent robotic-assisted thoracic surgery for a pulmonary nodule. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 3 without any perioperative complications. The pathological stage was T1aN0M0 (stage IA). Our result showed the robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was a safe and feasible surgical approach for lobectomy.

Robot-Assisted Right Middle Lobectomy

Da Vinci surgical system has been widely used in thoracic surgery as a new technique. We are going to share the experience of robotic surgery for right middle lobectomy. A 48-year-old patient with a ground-glass opacity (GGO) underwent robotic-assisted right middle lobectomy in our center. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 4 without any perioperative complications. The pathological stage was T1aN0M0 (stage IA).
