This video depicts a technique for the localization of small pulmonary lesions and sublobar resection via robotic-assisted bronchoscopic dye marking and two-port VATS left lower lobe apical segmentectomy.

Four decades ago, the very first patients were enrolled into the Lung Cancer Study Group. It was a randomized, controlled trial that compared lobectomy to limited resection for biopsy-proven T1N0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The results of this study were published in 1995.

Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is rapidly expanding, and new challenges should be continuously proposed regarding this technology. In effect, the community may further understand its strengths and limits, and consequently, offer better treatment to patients.

This scientific statement is a granular contribution to a major cardiovascular issue, illuminating nuances of the "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) FDA designation. One would expect the relevant Thoracic Associations in North America and Europe to contribute to this debate.

This video and text describe the utility and technique of a totally robotic-assisted pulmonary resection with concomitant left atrial appendage ligation.

This video demonstrates a minimally invasive thymomectomy for a large Type AB thymoma in a fifty-six-year-old patient without myasthenia gravis.

Redo sternotomy in pediatric cardiac surgery can be made less risky by putting the patient on peripheral bypass using iliac vessels which allow for bigger sized cannulae than femoral vessels, and it is technically simpler. This video gives a visual example of how to do this.

This apical segmentectomy was performed by uniportal approach. Indocyanine green was injected into the blood via a peripheral vein to identify the intersegmental plane, allowing more accurate segmentectomies.

Here we report preoperative holographic assessment of pulmonary anatomy before left upper lobectomy: a further step into artificial intelligence-aided surgery.
