The overall advantages of thoracoscopy over thoracotomy in terms of patient recovery have been fairly well established. The use of robotics, however, is a newer and less proven modality in the realm of thoracic surgery. Robotics offers distinct advantages and disadvantages in comparison with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Robotic technology is now used for a variety of complex cardiac, urologic, and gynecologic procedures including mitral valve repair and microsurgical treatment of male infertility. This article addresses the potential benefits and limitations of using the robotic platform for the performance of a variety of thoracic operations.
胸腔镜相对于开胸手术在患者康复方面的整体优势已经得到了充分的证实。然而，机器人的使用在胸外科领域是一种较新的、尚未得到充分证明的模式。与电视辅助胸腔镜手术相比，机器人技术具有明显的优势和劣势。机器人技术现在用于各种复杂的心脏、泌尿科和妇科手术，包括二尖瓣修复和男性不育的显微外科治疗。本文讨论了使用机器人平台进行各种胸腔手术的潜在益处和局限性。
