Robotic-Assisted Esophagectomy: Current Situation and Future Perspectives
Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2023 May 23. doi: 10.5761/atcs.ra.23-00064. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRobotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has been rapidly spreading worldwide as a novel minimally invasive approach for esophageal cancer. This narrative review aimed to elucidate the current situation and future perspectives of RAMIE for esophageal cancer. References were searched using PubMed and Embase for studies published up to 8 April 2023. Search terms included "esophagectomy" or "esophageal cancer" and "robot" or "robotic" or "robotic-assisted." There are several different uses for the robot in es...

Extent of Lymph Node Dissection in Patients with Small-Sized Peripheral Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer during Intentional Segmentectomy
CONCLUSION: NSCLC patients with small peripheral tumors and a C/T ratio <0.75 during segmentectomy may not require MLND. The optimal MLND for patients with a C/T ratio ≥0.75, except for those with S6 primary, may be lobe-specific MLND.PMID:37100608 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.22-00216 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)
