2024年11月20日 · Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) is performed in eligible patients who are diagnosed with lung nodule or lung mass that needs biopsy to find out if it is cancerous or not.

Robotic bronchoscopy, also known as robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, is a recent advancement in bronchoscopy, the procedure used to biopsy lung nodules to detect the presence of lung cancer and other lung diseases.

Robotic bronchoscopy (RB) has been shown to improve access to smaller and more peripheral lung lesions, while simultaneously staging the mediastinum. Pre-clinical studies demonstrated extremely high diagnostic yields, but real-world RB yields have yet to fully matched up in prospective studies.

2023年3月7日 · Robotic-assistant bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure with no incisions and a lower risk of complications than surgery. In most cases, patients can go home the same day as the procedure with little or no restrictions.

2024年2月23日 · Robotic bronchoscopy is revolutionizing the early detection of lung cancer by offering more precise and minimally invasive procedures and enabling physicians to navigate through the lung's intricate pathways with greater accuracy.

2022年5月4日 · Robotic bronchoscopy, paired with 3D imaging, allows us to navigate an ultra-thin and very flexible tube with a camera on the end of it deep into the branches of the lungs to pinpoint suspicious lesions.

2023年3月7日 · Robotic Bronchoscopy. A minimally invasive procedure to examine the lungs for the diagnosis of lung cancer and other diseases.

Robotic bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube inserted into the airways to diagnose lung conditions, including lung cancer. Also called Ion robotic bronchoscopy or robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, the robot connected to the flexible tube allows for improved accuracy and farther access to places deep in the ...

By diagnosing small nodules that were previously considered inaccessible, the robotic bronchoscopy technology allows lung cancer to be diagnosed earlier and for treatment to begin sooner. This results in improved outcomes and survival rates.
