  • Robot-assisted Lobectomy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Objective To summarize our initial experience in robot-assisted lobectomy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 20 NSCLC patients underwent robot-assisted pulmonary lobectomy in General Hospital of Shenyang Military Command from March to September 2012. There were 13 males and 7 females, and their age was 43-80 (60.40±8.07) years. Single-direction thoracoscopic lobectomy technique was used,and systemic mediastinal and hilar lymph node dissection was routinely performed during the operation. There were 4 right upper lobectomies,7 right lower lobectomies,1 right middle lobectomy,7 left lower lobectomies,and 1 left upper lobectomy. Results Postoperative pathological examination showed adenocarcinoma in 12 patients,squamous cell carcinoma in 5 patients,adenosquamous carcinoma in 2 patients,and mucoepidermoid carcinoma in 1 patient. One patient undergoing left upper lobectomy had intraoperative pulmonary artery bleeding of 500 ml,who was healed by pulmonary artery repair via an accessory small incision and blood transfusion of 400 ml. All the other 19 patients successfully underwent robot-assisted lobectomy with their mean intraoperative blood loss of 60.00±42.95 (10-200) ml, and no blood transfusion was needed for them. All the patients were successfully extubated after operation, and none of the patients had severe postoperative complication. The mean thoracic drainage time was 9.35±3.48 (3-15) days. All the patients were discharged uneventfully and followed up for 2-9 (6.01±2.09) months without recurrence or metastasis. Conclusions Robot-assisted pulmonary lobectomy using Da Vinci S Surgical System is safe and feasible,and especially advantageous for lymph node dissection. It can be used for the treatment of early stage NSCLC.
