Combined Robotic Assisted Thoracic Surgery: Ask Dr. Eric Anderson and Dr. Marc Margolis

Combined Robotic Assisted Thoracic Surgery (CRATS) is a procedure that utilizes multiple cutting-edge technologies, the ION robot bronchoscope and the DaVinci robot, in one procedure. High-risk lung cancer patients first undergo a low dose CT scan of the lung to monitor for tumors. If a tumor is detected, the Ion robot bronchoscope is used to biopsy the lung tumor. If the lung tumor is found – through real-time biopsy – to be cancer, then the endobronchial ultrasound is used to determine if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes. If the lymph nodes are normal, then the patient undergoes surgery to remove the portion of the lung with the cancerous tumor using the DaVinci robotic video-assisted thoracic surgery system during the same anesthesia procedure.
