Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Stapling challenges in robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) lobectomy arise when the robotic stapler port is near the target vessel.
  • Accurate port placement is crucial for successful stapling and minimizing complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) software in determining optimal stapler port placement for RATS lobectomy.
  • To identify critical distances for safe and effective stapling, minimizing operative difficulty and chest wall damage.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-three patients undergoing RATS lobectomy were analyzed.
  • Preoperative virtual distances (VD) between target vessels and potential stapler ports were measured using 3D-CT software.
  • Intraoperative actual distances (AD) and stapling ease were recorded, alongside chest wall damage assessments.

Main Results:

  • Easier stapling correlated with larger anteroposterior thoracic diameter and actual distance (AD).
  • Optimal cut-off values for smooth stapling were identified as VD ≥ 142 mm and AD ≥ 6 mm.
  • Chest wall damage was more prevalent at caudal and dorsal port sites.

Conclusions:

  • Optimal stapler port placement in RATS lobectomy is essential for efficient stapling.
  • Utilizing 3D-CT software to ensure a virtual distance (VD) of at least 142 mm can facilitate smooth stapling.
  • This approach may decrease the incidence of chest wall damage, particularly at caudal port sites.
