Safety and Efficacy of SHURUI Single-Port Serpentine-Arm Robotic Surgery System in Lung Surgery: A Prospective Single-Centre Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The integration of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) and uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is poised to become a key direction for future advancements. The SHURUI single-port (SP) Robotic Surgery System, China's first domestically developed SP endoscopic system, has shown promise in urological and gynaecological surgeries but lacks thoracic application data. This study evaluates its safety and efficacy in anatomical lung resection.

Methods

A prospective single-centre trial enrolled 15 patients undergoing robotic pulmonary resection. The SHURUI system, featuring serpentine-arm instruments with dual continuum mechanisms, was deployed via a fifth/sixth intercostal incision. Primary endpoints included the non-conversion rate and the incidence of de
