Intraoperative Anesthetic and Surgical Concerns for Robotic Thoracic Surgery

Travis C Geraci et al. Thorac Surg Clin. 2020 Aug.

Abstract

Robotic thoracic surgery continues to gain momentum and is emerging as the optimal method for minimally invasive thoracic surgery. As a rapidly advancing field, continued review of the surgical and anesthetic concerns unique to robotic thoracic operations is necessary to maintain safe and efficient practice. In this review, we discuss the intraoperative concerns as they pertain to pulmonary, esophageal, and mediastinal thoracic robotic operations.
