Introduction: Uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (URATS) combines the precision of robotic systems with the minimal invasiveness of single-incision surgery. However, its widespread adoption ...
A lung nodule is a small density within the lung tissue, which may range from a few millimeters up to a few centimeters in ...
A single-shot intercostal nerve block was noninferior to thoracic epidural analgesia for pain control in minimally invasive lung resection. Continuous paravertebral block came out inferior for pain ...
Robotic and video-assisted thoracic surgery have revolutionized lung cancer treatment, minimizing trauma and shortening recovery times. Minimally invasive techniques enable complex procedures, ...
Lung cancer surgery is the primary form of treatment for most cases of early stage lung cancer. Surgery is particularly effective in cases where the tumor hasn’t spread. It can help treat the cancer, ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center have found that adults ...
Minimally invasive approaches to lung cancer resection have transformed thoracic surgery. Robotic-assisted and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) offer enhanced visualisation, improved ...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., taking more than 127,000 lives each year. Most lung cancer cases are diagnosed after the disease has already spread, which greatly limits ...
Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is a treatment for end-stage lung disease caused by emphysema. Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that causes shortness of breath ...
Michal Hubka, M.D.: lung cancer, minimally invasive thoracic surgery, robotic surgery, video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS); Virginia Mason Seattle Medical Center, General Surgery, 1100 Ninth Ave., ...
Surgery is a common treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly when the disease is detected early and the tumor is small and is only in one part of the lung. For small cell lung ...
