Surgery is considered to be the optimal treatment for intrathoracic hydatid disease. In addition, recurrence is very low when all such patients receive postoperative antihelminthic therapy.
Robotic pulmonary resections prove to be safe and effective even at the initial learning experience. The duration of operations is considered to be acceptable. The learning curve could be established after 14 cases.
The results of this study confirm for the first time that minimally invasive repair of PC deformity has a positive impact on both psychosocial and physical functioning of the patient, which is supported by parental assessment.
Advances in technology cause major developments in minimally invasive thoracic surgery practice. The expected benefits of minimally invasive pulmonary surgery are clear and mostly as follows;shorter hospital stay, fast recovery, less pain, and decreased morbidity and mortality. Robotic surgery with improved visualization and instrumental technical capabilities has become an attractive tool for surgeons who are performing lung resections. However, robotic surgery still seems far away from standardization even in the basic fundamental which is "the best approach for docking". In this article, we would like to share our experience in robotic surgery with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) based or in other terms "roboticassisted" approach, and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. We speculate that, especially at early experience, VATS based approach or "robotic-assisted approach" may provide a smooth start up with the support of the experienced table surgeon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
