Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of using the da Vinci robotic system for radioactive seed placement in the wedge resection margin of pigs' lungs.
Methods And Materials: Video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection was performed in the upper and lower lobes in pigs. Dummy (125)I seeds embedded in absorbable sutures were sewn into the resection margin with the aid of the da Vinci robotic system without complications.
