Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

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...

Area of Science:

Thoracic Surgery
Surgical Oncology
Robotic Surgery

Background:

Increasing lung cancer diagnoses necessitate earlier intervention.
Demand for anatomical lung segmentectomy is rising due to lung cancer screening programs.
Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery offers a minimally invasive approach.

Purpose of the Study:

To report the initial outcomes of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomies in Czechia.
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of this technique for lung cancer treatment.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of the first 20 patients undergoing robotic segmentectomy.
Procedures performed after establishing expertise in robotic lobectomies.
Data collected on patient demographics, indications, operative details, and outcomes.

Main Results:

Successful completion of 18 robotic segmentectomies without conversion to thoracotomy.
Common indications included primary lung malignancy, metastasis, and benign lesions.
Low complication rate (1/20), with short chest tube duration and hospital stay.

Conclusions:

Robotic segmentectomy is a viable and promising procedure following a learning curve.
Robotic technology and preoperative planning enhance the execution of complex segmentectomies, including those requiring bronchoplasty.
This approach contributes to improved patient outcomes in lung cancer treatment.
