[Robot-assisted Lobectomy under Port-only Mode with Artificial Pneumothorax].

BACKGROUND

Da Vinci robotic system is currently widely used in thoracic surgery. The ports employment and procedures vary in different medical center in China. Usually, a small incision was used for assistant.

METHODS

Based on clinical practice, we summarized domestic and foreign experience, combined with the characteristics of the Chinese body anatomy, employ portal technique and artificial pneumothorax, summarized a set of simplified and easier surgical method.

RESULTS

Port-only artificial pneumothorax robot-assisted lobectomy has further improvement in anatomical safety, hemostatic effect and aesthetic appearance of the wound.

CONCLUSIONS

This study optimizes the procedure of port-only artificial pneumothorax robot-assisted lobectomy in order to serve lung cancer patients better.
