About this Research Topic
The primary goal of this Research Topic is to delve deeper into the innovations in thoracic robotic surgery. It aims to provide more solid scientific evidence on the effectiveness of RATS, especially in the context of new medical therapies, which are increasingly offered in a neoadjuvant setting to shift the focus to patient-specific personalized treatments. The collection also seeks to explore the various applications of RATS, from sublobar anatomical resections to more advanced cases with vascular or bronchial reconstructions.
The scope of this Research Topic is primarily focused on the advancements and applications of RATS. We welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• The evolution and development of RATS;
• The effectiveness of RATS in various thoracic diseases;
• The potential advantages and limitations of RATS;
• The impact of RATs on personalized therapy and medicine.
