Initial experience of robot‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery in China [PDF]
The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS).From May 2009 to May 2013, 48 patients with intrathoracic lesions underwent RATS with the da Vinci® Surgical System was reported (11 lobectomies, 37 mediastinal tumour resections).RATS was successfully and safely completed in all 48 ...

Robot-assisted vs. video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in lung cancer
The major advantages of robot-assisted surgery are the fine field of view provided by the high-precision three-dimensional (3D) images and the good operability provided by the robotic arms that enables precise movements. A growing number of retrospective studies have compared robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) with video-assisted ...

A Systematic Mapping Review of Core Outcome Reporting in Surgical Research for Oesophageal Cancer. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Oesophageal carcinoma is a rising global health burden, with surgical resection and perioperative chemotherapy forming the cornerstone of curative treatment. However, uncertainty persists regarding the optimal surgical approach, partly due to heterogeneity in outcome reporting, which hinders data synthesis and evidence‐based decision‐making ...
