Robotic Assisted Extended Sleeve Lobectomy After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Xufeng Pan et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2015 Dec.

Abstract

A 61-year-old man had experienced an irritating cough for 1 month. He received a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma by bronchoscopy. Computed tomography showed a mass in the left hilum and mediastinal lymph node enlargement. After two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the patient underwent a robotic assisted atypical sleeve lobectomy (left lower lobe + S4+5). The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged on the tenth postoperative day. This is the first description of the feasibility of robotic extended sleeve lobectomy for a lung cancer patient receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
