Postoperative Lung Function after Robotic- versus Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy for Lung Cancer: A Propensity Score-Matched Study
Despite the use of more ports, RATS lobectomy did not result in inferior pulmonary function compared to VATS. Given its higher cost, VATS may remain the more cost-effective standard, although RATS offers a promising platform for future innovation.
