Introduction:
Complete enucleation of oesophageal leiomyoma is the treatment of choice, traditionally performed by open surgery. Minimally invasive thoracoscopic approaches have been proposed as an alternative to thoracotomy. Robotic surgical systems with improved dexterity, tremor filtration and stereoscopic vision are advancement over convention...

Context 1
... patients were operated in the semi-prone position [ Figure 1a] either in the right lateral or left lateral depending on the location and the laterality of tumour projection. Tumours in the upper and middle third of the thoracic oesophagus were approached from the right side. ...

Background
There are several concerns on thoracoscopic surgery for large tumors because of the increased risk of tumor cell spillage. This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes and oncological validity between video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with tumor size > 5 cm.

Diaphragm paralysis and eventration are rare conditions in adults. Symptomatic patients may benefit from surgical plication of the elevated hemidiaphragm. The objective of this study was to compare short-term outcomes and length of stay following robotic-assisted vs. open diaphragm plication. A multicenter retrospective study was conducted that ide...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of body mass index on patients’ short-term results following lung lobectomy.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, we compared the perioperative and short-term postoperative results of obese (BMI≥30 kg/m2) versus nonobese patients (BMI<30 kg/m2) who underwent anatomical lung resection for c...

... The robotic approach has also been employed for benign and malignant diseases of the esophagus. After the initial case report by Elli et al. on using a robotic approach for esophageal enucleation to leiomyomas, multiple other studies concur that the robotic approach provides a safe, feasible, and effective alternative to the VATS or open approach (81)(82)(83)(84). ...
