In this video, the authors present a completely parenchymal sparing robotic sleeve resection of the bronchus intermedius for management of a bronchial carcinoid tumor.
September 16, 2020
In this video, the authors describe their approach to the robotic right lower lobe anteromedial basilar (S7 + S8) segmentectomy.

In this article, the authors demonstrate a novel technique of antegrade cardioplegia decannulation using the Cor-Knot system with phenomenal video and description on their case series. This technique has great utility in cases where closing the cardioplegia cannulation site can be challenging in minimally invasive video-assisted cardiac surgery.

Seven robotic left atrial myxoma resections were performed so far in the authors’ institution. The patients had no stroke or bleeding complications, and all were discharged home after a mean period of seven days.
June 16, 2020
This video demonstrates the technique of robotic-assisted transmyocardial laser revascularization combined with application of an atrial clip to provide left atrial appendage exclusion.
June 9, 2020
The authors demonstrate a robotically assisted myxoma resection, which allows for unparalleled visualization, tumor handling, and en-block resection without compromising safety and efficiency.
