To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy in performing biopsies.
Conducted a multicenter, prospective study
Focused on biopsy procedures for small peripheral nodules
Included evaluations of user performance and safety over two years
Demonstrated strong safety profile among nascent users
Showed encouraging performance in biopsy accuracy
Indicated potential advantages in handling small peripheral nodules
Abstract
The first iteration of ssRAB demonstrated encouraging performance and a strong safety profile among nascent users for the biopsy of small peripheral nodules.
