Abstract

Abstract: Resection Process Map (RPM) is a surgical simulation system that uses preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography. Unlike the usual static simulation, this system provides surgeons an individualized dynamic deformation of the lung parenchyma and vessels. RPM was first introduced in 2020. Although the intraoperative usefulness of this system has been evaluated experimentally, there have been no reports on its clinical use. Herein, we presented in detail the first experience on RPM during robot-assisted anatomical lung resection in the real clinical setting. Abstract : With the widespread use of robotic surgery and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, the percentage of cases that undergo minimally invasive pulmonary resection has been increasing.
