“…First, this approach could minimize risk of intercostal nerve injury and compression, which is the primary cause of postoperative pain in general thoracic surgery, thereby potentially minimizing such pain. [24][25][26] Intercostal neuralgia can arise as a result of nerve entrapment, traumatic damage, persistent nerve irritation. 27 The space for port placement in the subcostal approach is larger than that in the intercostal approach.…”

BackgroundThe da Vinci single‐port system (SPS) (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) was designed for single‐port (SP) surgery. Although we have reported our clinical outcomes using the SPS for a simple procedure in general thoracic surgery, major pulmonary resection had been performed only in cadaveric experiments to date. This study evaluated the feasibility of SP subcostal robotic major pulmonary resection using the SPS. Here, we present our initial clinical experience of SP subcostal robotic major pulmonary resection at our institution.MethodsTwenty‐five patients with lung cancer underwent SP major subcostal pulmonary resection using the SPS between March and November 2022. Patient characteristics, intraoperative and perioperative outcomes were assessed. Questionnaires were used to evaluate patient satisfaction with the cosmetic results and quality of life through face‐to‐face or telephone interviews on postoperative day 30.ResultsAll patients underwent major pulmonary resection with complete radical resection (R0). Nineteen patients underwent lobectomy, whereas six patients underwent segmentectomy. The mean docking time and total operative time were 4.16 ± 1.19 min (range, 2.3–7.8 min) and 197.6 ± 55.33 min (range, 130–313 min), respectively. No patients underwent conversion to open thoracotomy. One patient required an additional assistant port due to severe pleural adhesions.ConclusionsSP subcostal robotic major pulmonary resection using the SPS is feasible and safe. With the continuous development of robotic technology and surgical techniques, we believe that more complex general thoracic surgeries will be performed in the future using SPS.
