Interlobar division using vessel-sealing system in robot-assisted pulmonary lobectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We investigated the safety of a novel interlobar fissure division technique using the da Vinci vessel sealing system in robot-assisted pulmonary lobectomy.

Methods

The medical records of patients who underwent robotic pulmonary lobectomy with node dissection for primary lung cancer between 2018 and 2020 were reviewed. The inclusion criteria were fulfilled by 111 patients, whose perioperative factors and postoperative results were compared with those previously reported. Furthermore, the new robotic lung interlobar division technique using the da Vinci vessel sealing system without a robotic stapler was evaluated in patients with low-grade incomplete fissure. We considered the Craig and Walker classification of lung fissures grades 1 and 2 as a good adaptation for t
