Robotic navigational bronchoscopy in a thoracic surgery practice: Leveraging technology in the management of pulmonary nodulesCentral MessagePerspective

open access: yes, 2023
Objectives: Robotic navigational bronchoscopy is increasingly used to improve diagnostic yield for pulmonary nodules compared with the 50% to 60% obtained by standard bronchoscopy; however, safety and efficacy data are limited to small series. The aim of

Comparison of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopic localization and computed tomographic imaging-guided methylene blue localization in the resection of pulmonary nodules: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Background Accurate localization of small-to-medium pulmonary nodules before video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is essential for success. Traditional imaging methods face challenges in the thoracic cavity.

A Transnasal Endoscope for Robotically Assisted Gastroscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a 4.25 mm diameter magnetically navigated transnasal endoscope for upper gastrointestinal (GI) screening and intervention. The system enables precise remote steering throughout the upper GI tract and is demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo experiments, including the robotic execution of preprogrammed retroflexions, trans ...

Contemporary Concise Review 2024: New Techniques in Interventional Pulmonology. [PDF]

open access: yesRespirology
SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS Navigational bronchoscopy and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) guided bronchoscopy show comparable yields to percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy of lung nodules. Robotic assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) with advanced imaging (CBCT or digital tomosynthesis) improves diagnostic yield further.
