Robotic surgery is a modern technique used in lung cancer operations. The procedure begins with the patient being placed on the operating table and positioned appropriately. Subsequently, four small incisions or punctures, typically 1-1.5 cm wide, are made on the patient's body according to the planned surgery. Through these entry points, the "da Vinci" robotic arms are positioned into the patient's body; this stage is referred to as "Docking".
The primary surgeon sits at a console with joystick controls, which is independent of the operating table. This console includes two joystick arms that mimic finger movements, pedals for camera angle and coagulation, and a visor that provides a 3D high-resolution image. Another member of the surgical team, a second surgeon, is present at the operating table to perform additional manipulations according to the primary surgeon's instructions and support the operation.
In cases like lung resection, typically three robotic arms are used: one for the camera, one for tissue grasping, and another specialized instrument for coagulation and dissection. Additionally, a surgical assistant contributes to the surgery through their own port to perform procedures such as retraction or aspiration when needed. Through this closed system, the surgical procedure is completed minimally invasively with the precision of robotic arms.
