Three-Dimensional Holographic-Guided Robotic Lung Segmentectomy for Deep Pulmonary Nodules: Technique and Initial Results.

Diagnosis and treatment of nodules remain challenging issues. The aim of this article is to report the technique of real-time navigation using holographic reconstruction technology combined with a robot assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) platform for lung resection in patients with . The pre-surgery 3D planning was based on the chest CT scan.

[Aspergillus mediastinitis following post-immunotherapy lobectomy for oligometastatic lung].

The relationship between infectious disease and therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors remains unknown. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma who responded remarkably well to immunotherapy and underwent upper right lobectomy. Three weeks after hospital discharge, she was readmitted for severe dyspnea due to mainstem bronchus compression by mediastinal mass.

Preclinical evaluation of Versius, an innovative device for use in robot-assisted thoracic surgery.

Objectives: The adoption of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has helped to overcome some of the challenges associated with surgeons performing conventional video-assisted thoracic surgery. The Versius Surgical System (CMR Surgical, Cambridge, UK) has been developed iteratively in line with surgical team feedback to improve the surgeon's experience and patient outcomes. The goal of this study was to assess the use of the device in RATS in a preclinical setting and to fulfil Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-Term Follow Up-Devices stage 1 (Idea).

[Patient outcomes after lung resection. The impact of unplanned readmission].

Unplanned readmissions after lung cancer surgery impair normal postoperative recovery and are associated with increased postoperative mortality. The objective of this review was to compile a detailed and comprehensive dataset on unplanned readmissions after pulmonary resection so as to better understand the associated factors and how they may be attenuated. Based on the identified risk factors, prevention involves improved preoperative preparation of at-risk patients and preoperative discharge planning so as to help prevent unscheduled readmissions, which are predictive of a poorer prognosis.
