A successful case of robot‐assisted thoracic surgery for apical thoracic schwannoma

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: The thoracic apex is a narrow and complicated area with nerves and vessels, making it difficult to secure a visual field and perform surgical operations. Robot-assisted surgery enabled good visibility and highly flexible forceps manipulation, we were able to perform minimally invasive and safe thoracic apical tumour resection.
