Popis: With the popularization of chest computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening, the detection rate of peripheral pulmonary nodules is increasing day by day. Some patients could make clear diagnoses and receive early treatment by obtaining biopsy specimens. Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) is one of the non-surgical biopsy methods for peripheral pulmonary nodules, which has less trauma and lower incidence of complications compared to percutaneous thoracic needle biopsy (PTNB). However, the diagnostic rate of TBLB is about 70%, which is still inferior to that of PTNB, which is about 90%. Since 2018, robot assisted bronchoscopy systems have been applied in clinical practice. This article reviews their application in further improving the diagnostic rate of peripheral pulmonary nodules by TBLB.
