Numerous published articles have shown the safety and efficacy of robotic lung resection, including lobectomy. Several techniques have been described by different authors to perform a robot assisted lung lobectomy. We adopted four arms robotic procedure. We usually perform three ports (10-15 mm) and an anterior 3 to 4 cm utility incision. This technique allows to safely proceed with an anterior to posterior approach to the hilum. In this study, we present in clear and sequential steps, the procedure to perform a right upper lobectomy for early stage lung cancer. We also supply a high-quality video, operative tips and a preference cards.

A 51-year-old man presented with chest tightness, exertional dyspnea, and occasional chest pain for 2 years. The patient visited his local hospital initially, and CT scan revealed a ground glass opacity (GGO) located in the right upper lobe (Fig 1A). He was diagnosed as having pulmonary infection and treated with levofloxacin for 12 days.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rapidly progressive and highly morbid disease commonly found in immunosuppressed patients. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential, with thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery techniques previously described for surgical resection of infected lobes. Here we present the case of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia and nonresolving pneumonia treated with robotic left upper lobectomy.

Although segmentectomy is the standard surgical procedure for small-sized peripheral non-small cell lung cancer, reports on segmentectomy for right middle robe are rare because of the anatomical feature. We report a case of an 81-year-old woman with a history of left S4 segmentectomy, left basal segmentectomy, and right upper lobectomy for multiple primary lung cancer with a part solid nodule in S4a. Owing to the increased volume of the right middle lobe following a right upper lobectomy, a right S4 segmentectomy was performed.

Background: Postoperative cerebral infarction, a serious complication of surgery, is occasionally experienced with pulmonary vein stump thrombosis (PVST), which is frequently observed after left upper lobectomy (LUL). Herein, we prospectively investigated whether PVST could be safely prevented by intrapericardial ligation of the superior pulmonary vein (SPV) to shorten the SPV stump during LUL.
Methods: In a consecutive 21 patients who underwent LUL, we ligated the proximal intrapericardial SPV with 1-0 silk suture and divided the distal hilar SPV by an automatic stapling device.
