For patients facing disorders of the organs and tissues in the chest cavity, Concord Hospital Cardiothoracic Surgery offers an advanced, minimally invasive thoracic surgical option with the da Vinci® Si HD (high-definition) Surgical System.

This robotic-assisted approach utilizes the latest in surgical technologies and is ideal for delicate surgeries such as lobectomy and thymectomy. The da Vinci Si HD enables surgeons to accurately position the tools for flexible and effortless access to the target site, helping the patient avoid the pain and trauma of sternotomy and rib spreading that are associated with traditional open surgery techniques.

• Less pain and blood loss;
• Fewer transfusions;
• Less risk of infection and scarring;
• Shorter hospital stay and recovery time;
• In many cases, better clinical outcomes than conventional technologies in controlling cancer.

Your doctor will help you decide if surgery using the da Vinci Si HD Surgical System is a viable surgical option for your condition.

Lobectomy is a procedure to surgically remove a section of a lung from a patient with lung cancer. Read da Vinci patient experience stories for more information.

Your thymus gland is in the upper portion of the chest and is an important part of your body’s immune system. If there is a blockage of muscle receptors, this gland is known to do more harm than good, causing you weakness and fatigue. The robotic-assisted approach to removing your thymus gland eliminates the need for invasive incisions, lessening your recovery time among other benefits.
