主 题:Pulmonary function Lung cancer Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery Lobectomy
摘 要:Buitrago and colleagues should be commended on an excellent case report on the effective use of the robotic platform for a successful minimally invasive left lower lobectomy for a patient with biopsy proven squamous cell carcinoma.1 Despite a predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second(ppoFEV1)of 23%and a preoperative diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide(DLCO)of 21%,the patient underwent a lobectomy without any intraoperative complications or evidence of disease at 15 months *** node sampling was performed from 5 *** postoperative length of staywas not clearly *** authors made several interesting points about the impact of pulmonary function on postoperative outcomes,the oncological efficacy of lobectomy versus sublobar resections,and merits of roboticassisted thoracoscopic surgery(RATS)versus thoracotomy and conventional video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS).We would like to discuss these points in further detail based on the available evidence in the current literature.
