Robotic-assisted segmentectomy of lingual segment of the left upper pulmonary lobe
Abstract
The patient was admitted due to “repeated hemoptysis for more than half a year”. The patient began to cough up blood about 6 months ago. The blood was bright red in color, and the patient spitted about 6 times during each attack. She spitted up fresh blood again one month ago and received antiinflammatory and hemostasis treatment in a local hospital. Then, she visited our hospital for further management. She did not suffer from fever. Her physical performance was normal, and the body weight did not obviously change.
