Comparison of short-term outcomes between multi-arm uniportal and multiport robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery based on propensity score matching

For pulmonary resection and mediastinal tumor resection, URATS demonstrates perioperative outcomes comparable to those of MRATS, with favorable safety and feasibility. URATS not only minimizes access-related surgical trauma but also results in a lower incidence of postoperative complications. Furthermore, it offers superior postoperative cosmetic outcomes, making it a promising technique for clinical application.
