Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Pancoast tumours, rare lung apex cancers, present significant surgical challenges due to invasion of critical adjacent structures.
  • Historically considered inoperable, multimodal therapy has improved outcomes, but conventional open surgery has high morbidity.
  • Advancements in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery offer potential improvements in managing these complex cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the application of robotic-assisted Pancoast tumour resection using the da Vinci Xi surgical system.
  • To highlight the perioperative management strategies for robotic Pancoast tumour resection.
  • To review patient outcomes following robotic-assisted surgical management.

Main Methods:

  • Video tutorial detailing robotic-assisted Pancoast tumour resection using the da Vinci Xi platform.
  • Focus on surgical technique, instrument utilization, and port placement.
  • Discussion of perioperative care and patient selection.

Main Results:

  • Robotic-assisted surgery provides enhanced 3D visualization and dexterity for complex resections.
  • Potential for reduced morbidity and improved recovery compared to open techniques.
  • Demonstration of feasibility for Pancoast tumour resection with the da Vinci Xi system.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery represents a transformative approach for Pancoast tumour resection.
  • The da Vinci Xi system offers advantages in precision and visualization for these challenging cases.
  • Further research into long-term outcomes is warranted.
