What is a robotic lobectomy?
Robotic Lobectomy. Surgeons at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center are exceptionally skilled at performing robotic lobectomy procedures, shown to be an effective treatment for early-stage lung cancer. Lahey is at the forefront of robotic lung cancer surgery. Lobectomy is the surgical removal of one of the lobes of the lung, most often to treat cancer.
What is a robotic surgery lobectomy?
