Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

699
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

638
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Robotic systems enhance surgeon dexterity and visualization in endoscopic procedures.
  • The da Vinci surgical system was utilized for robotic-assisted thoracoscopic bronchoplasty.
  • This technique is applicable for centrally located lung cancer requiring bronchoplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the use of the da Vinci surgical system for robotic-assisted thoracoscopic bronchoplasty.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of this minimally invasive approach.

Main Methods:

  • Three robotic ports and one utility incision were used.
  • Double-lumen endotracheal intubation achieved lung isolation.
  • 4/0 polydioxanone suture (PDS) was employed for bronchoplasty.

Main Results:

  • Three cases of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic bronchoplasty were successfully performed.
  • Procedures included right upper lobe lobectomy with primary closure or re-anastomosis of the right main bronchus, and left upper lobe sleeve lobectomy.
  • All surgeries and post-operative courses were uneventful, with no complications.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery provides accuracy and safety advantages for bronchoplasty compared to conventional thoracoscopic surgery.
  • This approach is a viable option for complex lung cancer resections involving the bronchi.
