Robotic approach to combined anatomic pulmonary subsegmentectomy: technical aspects and early results

ConclusionsCompletely portal robotic CAS is a safe and effective procedure in a select subset of patients, proving quite suitable for smaller (<2 cm) multi-segment lung cancers, particularly lesions of right upper lobe. A robotics approach facilitates complex and challenging CAS, the disadvantage being lengthy operative times during early acquisition of skills.
