Abstract
Over the last decade, an increase in the use of computed tomography (CT) scanning and improved adaptation of lung cancer screening programs have resulted in a rise in the detection of pulmonary nodules. With this increased detection of nodules, smaller and more peripheral nodules have become more common and pose a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. This chapter discusses the utility and efficacy of robotic bronchoscopy for peripheral lesions.
