The scaphoid bone is essential for wrist stability, force transmission, and movement, being crucial for maintaining carpal kinematics. In cases where the scaphoid is non-reconstructable, a complete replacement can serve as a treatment option to preserve carpal alignment and motion. This approach has evolved since its first descriptions in 1945, benefiting significantly from advancements in patient-specific implant design, additive manufacturing/3D printing, and material use in recent years.

Sleeve lobectomy has solidified its position as a preferred alternative to pneumonectomy due to its significant advantage in preserving lung function, whereas right lower lobe sleeve lobectomy remains relatively uncommon because of the higher technical challenge. With the development of minimally invasive technology and experience acquired over the years, robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) has shown progress and distinct advantages compared to the traditional thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach. Owing to its 3D vision, bendable wrist joints, and tremor filtration capabilities, this surgical technique exhibits great advantages in complex thoracic operations demanding for reconstructive procedures compared to traditional thoracoscopic surgery.
