Abstract:
Anatomical resection using a robotic approach in patients with thoracic deformities presents several challenges, including port placement. We present two patients with thoracic deformities-one without (Case 1) and one with (Case 2) specific port placements-focusing on difficulties such as limited visibility and restricted motion of the robotic arm.
