[Current Status and Future Prospect of Robot-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 2018 January
As surgical robots have widely spread, verification of their usefulness in the general thoracic surgery field is required. The most favorable advantage of robot-assisted surgery is the markedly free movement of joint-equipped robotic forceps under 3-dimensional high-vision. Accurate operation makes complex procedures straightforward and may overcome weak points of previous thoracoscopic surgery. Robot-assisted surgery for lung cancer and mediastinal disease have been safely introduced and initial results have shown favorable. It is still at the stage of clinical research, but recently a lot of merits of robot-assisted thoracic surgery are proved. Although safety management, education and significant cost are also important issues, the robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery will become one of the surgical options in minimally invasive surgery.
