Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Since anatomical segmentectomy requires meticulous dissection of the segmental pulmonary vessels and bronchus, robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) has been widely adopted in recent years. We investigated the usefulness of RATS segmentectomy by comparing perioperative outcomes with conventional approaches including open thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). We compared perioperative outcomes of segmentectomy between RATS and conventional approaches including open thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
