Robotic Resection of Pulmonary Sequestration With Fluorescence Image Guidance

Ann Thorac Surg. 2023 Jan;115(1):e15-e16. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.02.044. Epub 2022 Mar 11.

Abstract

We present the case of a 21-year-old woman with intralobar pulmonary sequestration in the right lower lobe. Minimally invasive robotic resection of the sequestration was performed to limit the loss of normal-functioning lung. This case also demonstrates the use of indocyanine green fluorescence guidance for demarcation of the sequestration.
