Uniportal video-assisted lung resection versus robotic-assisted lung resection, is there a difference?
UVATS and RATS lung resections were associated with similar post-operative adverse event rates. Lymph node dissection and length of stay were improved with RATS. Oncological outcomes were similar. UVATS was associated with lower morphine requirement. Prospective studies will help further clarify the differences between these approaches.
