This series on “Progress in Robotic Thoracic Surgery” highlights recent advances, technical insights, and evolving roles of robotic-assisted procedures in thoracic surgery. It covers a wide range of topics — from trauma, minor procedures, complex resections, to outcomes, complications, emerging evidence, and challenges in non-elective settings. In addition, this series will include authors across different institutions and countries, offering diverse and international perspectives.
