Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Low-dose CT scans enable early lung cancer detection, facilitating conservative surgical options.
  • Anatomical segmentectomy is increasingly preferred over lobectomy for early-stage lung cancer.
  • Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) offers minimally invasive benefits but has dexterity limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on robot-assisted segmentectomy for lung cancer.
  • To describe the technique of robot-assisted segmentectomy.
  • To highlight advancements and new technologies in robot-assisted segmentectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of robot-assisted segmentectomy techniques and outcomes.
  • Description of the surgical procedure, emphasizing robotic advantages.
  • Focus on the use of intravenous indocyanine green for intersegmental plane definition.

Main Results:

  • Robotic surgery overcomes VATS limitations, enhancing dexterity and intuitiveness.
  • Robot-assisted segmentectomy allows for easier and safer execution of the procedure.
  • Intraoperative use of indocyanine green enables precise identification of surgical margins.

Conclusions:

  • Robot-assisted segmentectomy is a viable and advanced minimally invasive option for lung cancer.
  • This technique improves surgical precision and potentially patient outcomes in early-stage lung cancer.
  • Technological advancements are making complex procedures like segmentectomy more accessible and effective.
