Abstract
Performing a bronchial sleeve resection followed by bronchoplasty is considered technically challenging. This procedure is still frequently performed via a thoracotomy, although thoracoscopic approaches are also used. Compared to the thoracoscopic approach, the robotic approach offers distinct advantages for performing technically demanding procedures. Additionally, a bronchial anastomosis is considered easier to perform with the robotic approach due to its unique characteristics, such as the use of articulated forceps. In this video tutorial, we demonstrate a robotic sleeve resection of the intermediate bronchial trunk followed by bronchoplasty for a bronchial hamartoma and discuss the nuances of this procedure. The console time was 150 minutes, with minimal blood loss. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. The chest tube was removed on postoperative day 1, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 3. The final pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of bronchial hamartoma.
期刊介绍:
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (MMCTS) is produced by The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS). MMCTS is the world’s premier video-based educational resource for cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons; freely accessible - and essential - for all. MMCTS was launched more than ten years ago under the leadership of founding editor Professor Marko Turina. It was Professor Turina’s vision that the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS), already the world-leader in CT surgery education, should take advantage of the Internet’s rapidly improving video publication capabilities and create a new step-by-step manual of surgical procedures. Professor Turina and EACTS agreed that the manual, MMCTS, should be freely accessible to all users, regardless of association membership status, nationality, or affiliation. MMCTS was self-published by EACTS for some years before being transferred to Oxford University Press, which hosted it until the end of 2016. In November 2016, the Manual returned home to EACTS and it has now relaunched in a completely new format. Since its birth in 2005, MMCTS has published some 400 detailed, video-based demonstrations of cardio-thoracic surgical procedures. Tutorials published prior to 2012 have been archived and we are working with the authors of these tutorials to update their work pending republication on the new site. Our mission is to make MMCTS the best online reference for cardio-thoracic surgeons – residents and experienced surgeons alike. Our aim is to include tutorials presenting procedures at both a fundamental and an advanced level. Truly innovative procedures are also included and are identified as such.
