Minimally Invasive Thoracic Procedures
Thanks to minimally invasive robotic techniques, doctors today can perform these chest surgeries without large skin incisions, and without spreading or cutting the breastbone and ribs.
Lobectomy
A lobectomy is the surgical removal of a lobe of the lung. Removing just the lobe spares healthy tissue and helps maintain proper lung function.
Mediastinal Tumor Resection
This procedure performed to remove tumors in the chest cavity between the lungs.
In all these procedures, minimally invasive robotic techniques give doctors more manual dexterity, better viewing of the surgical area, and better control.
