Bronchial Branching Patterns and Volumetry in the Right Upper Lobe: Impact on Segmentectomy Planning
November 1, 2023
Segmentectomy is on the rise, but understanding of the segmental bronchial branching pattern is limited. Computed tomography scans of 303 patients were used to determine and categorize the branching of the right upper lobe bronchi. Four major types and eleven subtypes were identified.

This video shows the authors’ method for treatment of a gunshot wound to the trachea robotically.
November 15, 2022
This video shows a case of a large post-intubation tracheal laceration repair performed by robotic assisted thoracoscopic surgery with a veno-venous ECMO support. It demonstrates the enormous potential of these two technological tools when applied together for selected complex cases of tracheal diseases.
