Abstract

The Hybrid Operating Room allows the thoracic surgeon to image, biopsy, diagnose, and operate in the same setting. With this streamlined model, time from referral to diagnosis to treatment is reduced. Increased efficiency allows for diagnosis and definitive surgical therapy sooner, thereby improving patient outcomes. A team-based approach is required for this one-stop-shop model of thoracic surgical practice to succeed. We present a series of prospective registry chart reviews demonstrating the utility of same-day diagnosis for thoracic oncology patient outcomes. Of the 21 patients presented, we were able to successfully obtain a diagnosis in 20 patients, resulting in a >95% single-session diagnostic rate.
