Robotic-assisted right upper lobectomy

The patient, a 59-year-old man, was found to be with lesion in the right upper lobe of the lung. He received coronary artery bypass graft in the department of cardiac surgery of our hospital due to angina pectoris 3.5 months ago. The pre-operative CT showed a nodular shadow in the right upper lobe of the lung. PET-CT findings were highly suggestive of lung cancer. A second chest CT after the surgery showed that the lesion in the right upper lobe of the lung did not change remarkably. The patient then visited our hospital again and was admitted due to “space-occupying lesion in the right upper lobe of the lung”. He had a history of hypertension for over 20 years. Ten years ago, he received a surgery for the gallbladder stones.
