Incidence, Management, and Outcomes of Intraoperative Catastrophes During Robotic Pulmonary Resection.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Intraoperative catastrophes during robotic anatomical pulmonary resections are potentially devastating events. The present study aimed to assess the incidence, management, and outcomes of these intraoperative catastrophes for patients with primary lung cancers. METHODS:This was a retrospective, multiinstitutional study that evaluated patients who underwent robotic anatomical pulmonary resections. Intraoperative catastrophes were defined as events necessitating emergency thoracotomy or requiring an additional unplanned major surgical procedure. Standardized data forms were collected from each institution, with questions on intraoperative management strategies of catastrophic events. RESULTS:Overall, 1810 patients underwent robotic anatomical pulmonary resections, including 1566 (
