Abstract
Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is a chronic condition characterized by collapse of the trachea and bronchi during exhalation as a result of weakened tracheal cartilage and/or redundancy of the posterior airway membrane. Currently, the definitive treatment for TBM is surgical stabilization via mesh plication. While this procedure has traditionally been performed via a posterolateral thoracotomy, we have recently reported the outcomes of the first series of robotically-assisted, minimally invasive tracheobronchoplasty (R-TBP) for the treatment of severe TBM. The purpose of this report is to detail the R-TBP procedure, as well as, the potential pitfalls and pearls for success.
期刊介绍:
Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery provides richly illustrated articles on techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery written by renowned surgeons. Each issue presents cardiothoracic topics in adult cardiac, congenital, and general thoracic surgery. Each specialty of interest to the thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon is explored through two different approaches to a specific surgical challenge. Each article is thoroughly illustrated with original line drawings, actual intraoperative photos, and supporting tables and graphs.
