A subxiphoid robotic-assisted right pneumonectomy (1). This case was set up as a robotic sleeve resection but due to the extension of the tumour, it was converted to a robotic pneumonectomy. This shows that the strategy of the operation could be changed even to a pneumonectomy without the need to convert to open if the anatomy allows during the robotic approach.
