With robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, the doctor may accurately position the biopsy needle into several nodule regions in real time.
A pathologist is frequently present to examine the tissue under a microscope while the process is being performed and to offer input on whether enough tissue was taken.
Sometimes the on-site pathologist can perform a test to determine whether the tissue is malignant or not.
The doctor can biopsy the same nodule again if additional tissue samples are required by choosing a different location within the lesion for the sample.
The Global robotic-assisted bronchoscopy system market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The first robotic-assisted bronchoscopy procedure is carried out by UC Davis Health. A single procedure can now diagnose and remove lung cancer thanks to a new robotic platform.
Patients experience less worry and needless waiting. One of the six disciplines for which UC Davis Medical Center uses minimally invasive, robotic-assisted technology is interventional pulmonology.
Other types of surgery include urologic, gastro-intestinal, cardiothoracic, and gynecologic oncology.
Innovations like the robotic bronchoscopy platform represent the very best in multidisciplinary team-based patient care, from diagnosis to therapy.
The institutional backing the robotics programme has received has been crucial. They are eager to promote further development in robotic surgery to improve and streamline patient care.
The Ion Endoluminal Platform by Intuitive is utilised during the robotic-assisted bronchoscopy technique.
Using a CT scan, the sophisticated technology develops a 3D map of the patient’s lungs. The best and safest path across the lung to reach the nodule or mass is then generated by the algorithms.
Once the route is chosen, an extremely thin and manoeuvrable catheter is guided to the location of the lung nodule or mass, where it is precisely recorded and steadily sampled.
Using endobronchial ultrasonography, lymph nodes are also biopsied during the same surgery. The samples are then assessed locally.
