Background: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is more precise and flexible than video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. This study compared the early postoperative functional recovery of patients who underwent triportal RATS with that of patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) for segmentectomy.

Methods: This observational, prospective study included 172 patients with clinical stage I or II peripheral NSCLC who underwent RATS or UVATS segmentectomy.

Volar locking plate fixation has become the standard surgical treatment, providing stable angular fixation, early rehabilitation, and effective support for comminuted and osteopenic bones. This study aimed to analyze the incidence and causes of major complications requiring secondary surgeries following volar plating for distal radial fractures and to investigate the correlation between demographic factors and postoperative outcomes, including major complications and reoperation.

The patient is a 66-year-old man. He underwent a total of 9 courses of GCD therapy(gemcitabine+cisplatin+durvalumab)for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with direct invasion of the greater omentum and abdominal wall and surrounding peritoneal dissemination. The tumor had shrunk and was judged to be curative, and laparoscopic hepatic S4a/S5 subsegmentectomy and S6 partial hepatectomy were performed at 8 months after the initial diagnosis.
