Key Points

  • To evaluate if robotic-assisted bronchoscopy can replace CT-guided transthoracic biopsy for lung nodules and masses.
  • Comparison of diagnostic yield between robotic-assisted bronchoscopy and CT-guided biopsy.
  • Assessment of safety profiles for both techniques.
  • Analysis of potential clinical utilities for robotic-assisted procedures.
  • Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy has a comparable diagnostic yield to CT-guided biopsy.
  • Robotic approach shows a superior safety profile over traditional methods.

Abstract

Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy demonstrates a comparable diagnostic yield and a superior safety profile compared to CT-guided transthoracic lung biopsy. The additional features permitted in robotic-assisted bronchoscopy may expand its clinical utility in the future.
