Robotic assisted thoracic surgery for resection of an esophageal cyst.
Many centers around the world are now developing robotic surgical programs. The benefit of robotics, particularly in those centers where there is already expertise with minimally invasive surgical techniques, is unclear. We present the case of a 58-year-old man presenting with an esophageal cyst. This was removed using a robotic assisted, VATS (video assisted thoracic surgery) approach. The technical details of the procedure are described. Additionally, a discussion of the relative merits of using a robotic rather than a standard minimally invasive approach is discussed. In a procedure such as the case described, the critical parts of the procedure are focused within a small operative field. We believe that the articulating instrumentation and the 3-dimensional magnified view provided by the robot offers significant advantages over a standard VATS approach.
