The Beat With Joel Dunning Ep. 97: Future CT Surgery Robotic Systems

This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning examines future cardiothoracic surgery robotic systems. He discusses the new da Vinci Single-Port surgical system, single-port robotic systems, and the cost difference between single-port and multiport robotic systems. He also examines DV5 technology, the potential of utilizing lasers in robotics, and other practices that are interested in robotic systems.   

Joel also reviews recent JANS articles addressing whether tumors spread through air spaces is a determinant for treatment of clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer, the effect of virtual reality on postoperative anxiety and pain in patients following cardiac surgery, long-term results of edge-to-edge and neochordal mitral repair for isolated anterior leaflet lesions, the prone position in obese patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome after cardiothoracic surgery.  

In addition, Joel explores minimally invasive bilateral orthotopic lung transplant with robotic assistance, repair of bileaflet mitral valve prolapse through an upper ministernotomy, and robotic-assisted atrial septal defect closure via the left atrium. Before closing, he highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.
