Completely Portal Robotic Lobectomy in lung cancer: Is subcostal specimen removal necessary?

CONCLUSION: We can conclude that performing a subcostal incision is not a sophisticated process, though it significantly prolongs the docking time. Although our study is based on a small group, we noticed that removing the specimen through the subcostal incision after CPRL-4 is potentially useful, has several advantages and it is a practical, feasible, and safe method.PMID:38374685 | DOI:10.1080/00015458.2024.2320510
