Description
Rei Kobayashi and co-authors describe one hard lung operation in a 2025 case report. A 59-year-old man had a tumor at the top of the right lung that had grown into the chest wall and a large vein. Such tumors are hard to reach, and one common open route gives a poor view of the back of the lung tip.
The surgeons first used a robot system through small ports to free the lung and its root. They then turned the patient and used the open route to remove the tumor and rebuild the vein. The two-stage plan paired a clear view with safe removal after drug treatment had shrunk the tumor.
