Robotic left S9-10 lung segmentectomy: how I do it?

Abstract

Left S 9-10 segmentectomy is one of the most difficult lung segmentectomies because of the highly variable peripheral pulmonary anatomies and the difficulty of dividing the intersegmental plane. The robotic system is helpful to perform through a full thoracoscopic approach this challenging procedure. We describe the technique of robotic left S 9-10 lung segmentectomy.
