Robotic Lung Resection

It’s a life-changing diagnosis. “Lung cancer is one of the deadliest, and in Southwest Florida, it is the leading killer for cancers,” said Pulmonary and Critical Care Physician Dr. Jordan Taillon. However, if it’s discovered in the early stages, “The goal for lung cancer treatment is to provide patients with a cure. The best way to do that is with surgery,” said Cardiothoracic Surgeon Dr. Mickyas Eskender. Cardiothoracic Surgeons can resect the cancerous mass. “Traditionally used to require a big open thoracotomy or a big incision on the chest wall to remove. We'd have to break the ribs and spread the ribs to get it out. But now we can do it through a minimally invasive approach using the robot, or it's about four or five little incisions about the size of a finger. Patients usually go home within 24 hours or so of surgery,” said Dr. Eskender. The robot gives surgeons precise control and visualization. “The visualization is amazing. And then the robotic instruments have wrists on them that have full degree of motion so it can mimic open surgery through tiny little incisions,” said Dr. Eskender. “The biggest benefit is smaller incisions, quicker recovery, quick return back to normal life.” You can learn more about lee health’s lung cancer screening program by searching for it on leehealth.org.
