Robotic-assisted tracheobronchoplasty: quality of life and pulmonary function assessment on intermediate follow-up

The initial description of robotic tracheobronchoplasty (R-TBP) for treatment of tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) demonstrated feasibility, safety and short-term symptomatic and functional improvement. The purpose of the current study was to demonstrate intermediate outcomes in postoperative pulmonary function and quality of life following R-TBP.
