Article Synopsis
- - Induction immunosuppression in solid organ transplants aims to prevent early rejection and reduce kidney injury by using strong immunosuppressive drugs during the perioperative period.
- - In lung transplants, over 80% of adult recipients now receive induction therapy, predominantly using interleukin-2 receptor antagonists like basiliximab.
- - Despite its growing use, there is limited evidence guiding the practice of induction immunosuppression in lung transplantation, leading to ongoing debates about its effectiveness.
Our objective was to evaluate for any changes in quality or cost when robotic lung resection is used with significant trainee participation. All anatomic lung resections between January 2006 and June 2016 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Clinical data were recorded by double entry.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors have a predilection for the pediatric population and are usually found in the lung parenchyma but rarely at the carina. They rarely metastasize but can be locally destructive.
