Minimally invasive techniques have been widely applied in general thoracic surgery. Compared with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), due to its theoretic superiority, robotic surgery is challenging the traditional position of VATS. With its unique advantages, including 3D vision and a high-freedom endowrist, it leads to easier lymph node dissection, more convenient blood vessel dissection, a shorter learning curve and competence for the completion of complex surgery. However, as a new surgical technology, the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) still need to be further verified. Thus, in this article, we review and summarize the application of RATS versus VATS in general thoracic surgery.
微创技术已在普通胸外科中广泛应用。与电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)相比,由于其理论上的优越性,机器人手术正在挑战VATS的传统地位。凭借其独特优势,包括3D视觉和高自由度的腕部,它使淋巴结清扫更容易、血管解剖更方便、学习曲线更短且能够完成复杂手术。然而,作为一项新的外科技术,机器人辅助胸腔镜手术(RATS)的安全性和有效性仍需进一步验证。因此,在本文中,我们回顾并总结了RATS与VATS在普通胸外科中的应用。
