“…Several papers have reported mediastinal masses including thymoma, thymic cancer, teratoma, thymic cysts, pericardial cysts, enterogenous cysts, ectopic parathyroid or thyroid tumors, lymphoid tissues, and neurogenic tumor. 30,31) Bodner et al and Savitt et al suggested the safety and feasibility of robotic surgery for mediastinal masses from their early experience. 30,31) They showed no conversions, intraoperative complications, or deaths.…”

“…Early studies demonstrated that robotic-assisted thymectomy was a safe operation with limited morbidity and mortality. 3,[11][12][13] These early studies identified the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing robotic assistance. Bodner et al 11 found that certain complex surgical procedures, such as dissection of the superior horns of the thymus, were technically easier to perform with robotic assistance than with traditional thoracoscopy.…”

Objectives: In Japan, as of March 2010, only 13 hospitals were using the da Vinci system and only for selected cases. Few clinical robotic lung surgery has been done in Japan, and there are no standardized training programs, although some exist in the U.S. and are under consideration by the Japanese society for thoracic surgery. We have used the da Vinci S ® Surgical System for pneumonectomy and lymph node dissection in pigs. We report and review future possibilities and problems of robotic surgery, especially concerning education, training, safety management and ethical considerations for pneumonectomy and lymph node dissection in clinical practice. Methods: The da Vinci ® system consists of a surgeon's console connected to a patient-side cart, a manipulator unit with three instrument arms and a central arm to guide the endoscope. The surgeon, sitting at the console, triggers highly sensitive motion sensors that transmit the surgeon's movements to the instrument arm. Results: We experienced exactly the same sensation as when performing standard open thoracotomy. Visual recognition is 3-D, and the high manipulation potential allows free movement of the various accessory instruments, exceeding the capacity of a surgeon's hands in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or even standard thoracotomy. Conclusions: Robotic surgery achieves at least the same level of operation technique for pneumonectomy and lymph node dissection under standard open thoracotomy, and it seemed as safe and easily performed as conventional VATS. The training program using pigs was effective and holds promise as a system to train thoracic surgeons in robotic lung surgery.
