Dr. Usman Ahmad provides an overview of the robotic thoracic surgery program. All patients are evaluated to determine if minimally invasive procedures are an option for their specific thoracic problem. Many procedures, such as lobectomy, mediastinal tumors, esophagectomy, and various benign esophgeal procedures can be performed with a robotic approach. Dr. Ahmad provides an example of a robotic case and presents research in this area.
