Robotic-Assisted Lung Surgery Could Improve Patient Outcomes
CHICAGO, Jan. 28, 2019 — Complete robotic-assisted lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) to remove emphysematous tissue was performed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital using the da Vinci Xi Surgical System. During the robotic LVRS, a surgeon with specialized training in robotic surgery sits at the computer console and looks through the stereoscopic, high-definition (HD) monitor to see inside the patient, giving the surgeon a better, more detailed 3D view of the operating area than the human eye can offer.
