Increased detection of lung nodules has led to trying to improve technologies for localization and/or tissue acquisition. Previous bronchoscopic techniques have limitations that have led to further advancements in technology. Robotic bronchoscopy has emerged as new technology for the localization, diagnosis, and potential treatment of lung nodules. The robotic bronchoscopic platform was developed to improve peripheral reach of lung nodules, provide direct continuous visualization of the periphery, and offer more precise control of the instrumentation. We review the progression of bronchoscopy, evolution to the robotic platform and its early outcomes, with considerations for future advancements.
随着肺结节检测率的增加，人们试图改进定位和/或组织获取技术。既往支气管镜技术存在局限性，这促使技术进一步发展。机器人支气管镜已成为肺结节定位、诊断和潜在治疗的新技术。机器人支气管镜平台的开发旨在提高肺结节的周边到达能力，提供外周的直接连续可视化，并提供对仪器的更精确控制。我们回顾了支气管镜技术的发展历程，向机器人平台的演变及其早期结果，并对未来的进展进行了考虑。
