Intralobar pulmonary sequestration: robotical resection using indocyanine green.

Area of Science:

• Thoracic Surgery
• Congenital Anomalies
• Pulmonology

Background:

• Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital lung malformation.
• Intralobar sequestration is the most common subtype of PS.
• Diagnosis and treatment of PS are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

• A 39-year-old female presented with symptoms related to intralobar sequestration.
• The patient's condition was diagnosed through appropriate imaging and clinical evaluation.
• Intralobar sequestration, though rare, requires timely intervention.

Findings:

• The case involved a successful surgical resection of intralobar sequestration.
• Robotic-assisted surgery was employed for the resection, offering minimally invasive benefits.
• The patient experienced a positive outcome following the procedure.

Implications:

• Robotic-assisted surgery is a viable and effective option for treating pulmonary sequestration.
• Early diagnosis and surgical intervention can lead to favorable outcomes in PS cases.
• This case highlights advancements in minimally invasive techniques for congenital lung anomalies.
