Subcostal Single-port Versus Intercostal Multi-port Robotic Lobectomy for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The goal of this observational study is compared the perioperative outcomes of robotic lobectomy using the SP system via the subcostal approach with those of multi-port robotic lobectomy using the Xi system via the intercostal approach.

Inclusion criteria

patients aged > 18 years who underwent RATS lobectomy for NSCLC at the Korea University Guro Hospital between January 2017 and December 2024

Exclusion criteria

patients who underwent Viedo-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Postoperative pain

Time frame: Postoperatively day 0,1,2,3

Postoperative pain using visual analog scale (minimum =0, maximum=10), A lower value reflects a lesser degree of pain perception (lower scores mean a better outcome)

Secondary outcomes

chest tube duration

Time frame: Perioperative

Chest tube duration refers to the number of days a thoracic drain remains in situ following pulmonary surgery. The duration is measured in days (minimum: 1, maximum: no defined). Lower scores indicate a better outcome.
