Surgery of pulmonary tuberculosis associated with open thoracotomy due to dense pleural and vascular adhesions. These reasons limited the use of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in these cases. Robotic surgical system aimed to performing successfully minimally invasive operations for pulmonary tuberculosis. This paper showed 3-year experience of one chest center in this area. The results of this work are recommendations that facilitate the implementation of robot-assisted lung resection in complex treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
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.
