Robotic-assisted left carinal sleeve pneumonectomy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for adenoid cystic carcinoma

Key Points

• Robotic-assisted surgery achieves significant improvements in patient respiratory support and recovery.
• Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support aids in stabilizing patients during complex procedures, enhancing safety.
• This innovative intervention targets patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma types, which can challenge conventional techniques.
• The approach may enable broader adoption of robotic surgery in complex thoracic cases, requiring further validation.
