Right robotic S4 segmentectomy

Multimed Man Cardiothorac Surg. 2023 Nov 6:2023. doi: 10.1510/mmcts.2023.076.

Abstract

Among the various segmentectomy procedures performed for lung diseases, the right S4 segmentectomy stands out as an exceptionally rare operation. Its infrequent occurrence can be attributed to several factors, including the relatively lower incidence of pathologies necessitating isolated resection of the S4 segment of the right lung. This video tutorial showcases the robotic approach to the rare right S4 segmentectomy, guiding surgeons through the step-by-step procedures for better understanding and proficiency.

Keywords: Non-small-cell lung cancer; Robotic resection; Robotic-assisted surgery; Segmentectomy.
