First case of major lung resection using the hinotori™ surgical robot system

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We performed the first case of major lung resection using the hinotori™ surgical robot system, which is a new surgical support robot system developed in Japan. A left lower lobectomy and subcarinal lymph node dissection were performed. The operation time was 3 h and 5 min, the cockpit time (console time) was 2 h and 5 min, and the blood loss was 40 g. Although the hinotori™ surgical robot system requires further improvements to be used for lung cancer surgery, even in its current state, there is no difference in operability compared to the da Vinci robot, and it is possible to perform the same surgery. Further evaluation with additional cases is required in future.
