We describe a rare procedure involving near-total robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery resection of a right posterior Pancoast tumour. Four ports and an assistant port were used. The DaVinci X system was used. The lobectomy was performed first to allow for adequate exposure to the apex and spine. The lateral aspect of ribs 1 to 4 was resected next, and the extrathoracic space was entered. Dissection proceeded through this space superiorly up to the level of the scapula and then posteriorly towards the spine. The second to the fifth ribs were dissected off the chest wall and resected medially off the spine at the rib heads. Further postero-superior exploration revealed the tumour to be invading the transverse process of the second rib, with ill-defined margins. Because of this development, and with the support of the spinal surgeons, a small high posterior thoracotomy was performed to complete the procedure and remove the specimen en bloc. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on post-operative day 5. The final histological report confirmed a squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (pT3N0M0) with negative margins (R0). Asymptomatic recurrence was noted near the margin of the second rib resection posteriorly 1 year postoperatively and was successfully treated with radiotherapy.
