Robotic tracheal resections on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with 23-hour length of stay and without guardian chin stitch

Key Points

• Safe robotic tracheal resections resulted in little to no morbidity or mortality, indicating a successful surgical approach.
• Patients required only a 23-hour hospital stay, showcasing the efficiency of the procedure.
• Resection performed under veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation enhances patient outcomes during surgery.
• This approach highlights the potential for less invasive techniques in complex surgeries, suggesting significant clinical benefits.
