Abstract

The use of robotic thoracic surgery as an alternative to open resections or video assisted thoracoscopy has increased in recent years due to its many potential benefits to patients. These benefits include less pain and therefore less use of pain medication, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and fewer complications. This video tutorial describes the robotic resection of a 37-mm by 30-mm esophageal leiomyoma.
