: Robot-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) is a novel platform for sampling peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPNs). To further clarify the role robot-assisted platforms have in diagnosing PPNs, we performed a review of the recent literature. : A systematic review was performed in Medline from 2019 to 2024 using the search terms "robotic bronchoscopy", "diagnostic yield", "sensitivity", and "positive predictive value", alone and in combination.

In our study, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics of patients with high diagnostic rates via sputum cytology, a non-invasive technique.
Methods: This retrospective, nested case-control study included patients who were diagnosed with lung cancer and who underwent sputum cytology at least once in our tertiary referral hospital between 2012 and 2022.
The clinical performance of robotic assisted navigation system versus conventional freehand technique for percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy.

This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted navigation system for percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB), compare it with conventional freehand technique, and evaluate its generalizability across operators with varying experience levels. After excluding 5 patients in whom robotic-assisted PTNB could not be performed due to technical problems, a total of 50 patients with robotic-assisted PTNB and 200 patients who performed freehand puncture were included. Using propensity score matching (PSM) to match two groups of patients and simulate a randomized controlled scenario.

CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy is a well-established method for diagnosing pulmonary lesions. However, despite extensive literature on the subject, many aspects of the procedure remain unexamined in large controlled trials. Consequently, practices vary across centers due to differences in local facilities, operators' preferences, and experience.

Rationale And Objectives: Current literature on the outcomes of CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) of cavitary pulmonary nodules is limited by small sample sizes. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance and to identify factors contributing to complications associated with PTNB of cavitary pulmonary nodules.
Materials And Methods: In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, we examined patients who underwent PTNB of cavitary lesions between July 2014 and July 2021.
