Short-term outcomes of robotic lobectomy versus video-assisted lobectomy in patients with pulmonary neoplasms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore whether robotic lobectomy (RL) is superior to video-assisted lobectomy (VAL) in terms of short-term outcomes in patients with pulmonary neoplasms.

Methods

From January 30, 2019 to February 28, 2022, a series of consecutive minimally invasive lobectomies were performed for patients with pulmonary neoplasms. Perioperative outcomes such as operation time, blood loss, dissected lymph nodes (LNs), surgical complications, postoperative pain control, length of postoperative stay in hospital, and total cost of hospitalization were compared.

Results

A total of 336 cases including 173 RLs and 163 VALs were enrolled. Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. RLs were associated with shorter operation time (median [interquadrant range, IQR], 1
