Lobectomy

Wedge and lobectomy can be facilitated with robotic access. Ultimately more complete nodal dissection clears vessels and bronchi to create a safe and complete resection

Thymectomy

Just as VATS changed the way we do thymectomy, robotics has kicked it up a notch.  Better exposure and instrument articulation allow clear access to both sides of the mediastinum to provide complete resection.

Decortication

The robot has become an excellent tool to complete benign decortications.  The precise control allows full sheets of fibrotic material to be removed while minimizing underlying lung damage and blood loss.  This is one area that the robot is underused and will become a valuable tool.
