Robotic bronchoscopy can help diagnose spots in the lungs when they are still small, catching cancer sooner and saving many more lives. The earlier you can diagnose someone with lung cancer, the more potential you have to cure them.

BOSTON — Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy safely targeted small and peripheral lesions with robust diagnostic yield across a range of definitions and methodologies, according to a presentation at the CHEST Annual Meeting.

Among patients with moderate-risk peripheral lung nodules, a robotic bronchoscopy system had high diagnostic yield, according to results published in Respirology.

For many senior ophthalmologists, including me, the entry of virtual reality, augmented reality, AI and robotics into our lives and practices is intimidating.

DePuy Synthes announced it received FDA 510(k) clearance for the Velys robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty platform, according to a press release.

Over recent years, the use of robotics for diagnosing people with lung cancer has been seen as promising, and the FDA even cleared a robotic navigated bronchoscopy system in 2023 to locate pulmonary lesions.
