Robotic-assisted versus open resection of pulmonary sequestration: a retrospective cohort study. RATS surgery for pulmonary sequestration
RATS provides a safe and effective alternative to open surgery for PS resection, with benefits including reduced hospital stay and earlier chest tube removal. Despite longer operative times, the minimally invasive approach may offer enhanced recovery and fewer complications. Continued accumulation of experience with RATS is likely to improve operative efficiency, making it a valuable option in the surgical management of pulmonary malformations.
