Robotic pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer treatment: program implementation and initial experience.
To describe the implementation of a robotic thoracic surgery program at a public tertiary teaching hospital and to analyze its initial results. ⋯ A implantação de um programa de cirurgia torácica robótica, quando há integração e treinamento adequado de todas as equipes envolvidas, é factível e pode reduzir a morbidade e a mortalidade.

To investigate the applicability of ultrasound imaging of the diaphragm in interstitial lung disease (ILD). ⋯ Using ultrasound, we were able to show that diaphragmatic mobility and the TF were lower in ILD patients than in healthy controls, despite the greater diaphragm thickness at FRC in the former. Diaphragmatic mobility correlated with ILD functional severity, and an FVC% cut-off value of < 60% was found to be highly accurate for indentifying diaphragmatic dysfunction on ultrasound.
