The ION system that allows the surgeon to control the surgical robot is top right (A). The surgical instrument used to move and remove tissue is shown at center right (B). The surgeon’s view of the tumor using the ultrasound bronchoscope is shown at bottom right (C). At top left (D), the surgeon’s view inside the chest cavity. The spinal column is on the left and the lung is on the right side (surrounded by gauze rolls). At bottom left (E), the same view as D, with a fluorescent dye to mark the tumor (illuminates as bright green) and isolate the area to remove.
