Abstract

A 71-year-old man had experienced an irritating cough for 3 months. A diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma in the carina was made from the bronchoscopic examination. The patient underwent a robotic-assisted resection and reconstruction of the carina. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. This is the first description of the feasibility of robotic-assisted carina resection and reconstruction.

Keywords: Carinal reconstruction; Lung cancer; Robotic surgery.
