Robot-assisted segmental resection offers a precise and safe approach for treating intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILS), a rare congenital lung malformation. This minimally invasive technique enhances surgical performance for challenging sublobar resections.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung malformation, often presenting as intralobar sequestration in the left lower lobe.
  • Complete surgical resection is the standard treatment for pulmonary sequestration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the first case of robot-assisted anatomical segmental resection for intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILS).
  • To highlight the benefits of robotic technology in complex sublobar resections.

Main Methods:

  • A 29-year-old woman diagnosed with ILS via chest CT.
  • Successful treatment using robot-assisted segmental resection of the affected left lower basal segments (9 and 10).

Main Results:

  • The robot-assisted segmental resection was performed without complications.
  • The procedure demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic assistance for ILS.

Conclusions:

  • Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is emerging for ILS treatment.
  • Robotic technology provides enhanced dexterity and a 3D view, improving precision and safety in challenging sublobar resections.
