Abstract

Minimally invasive surgical approaches for extended pulmonary resections are becoming increasingly common as more surgeons gain experience in thoracoscopic and robotic technique. Outcome studies demonstrate improved decreased morbidity as compared with an open surgery.

Keywords: Carinal pneumonectomy; Minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery; Sleeve lobectomy.
