BACKGROUND: To evaluate the short-term efficacy, lung function, and oxidative stress levels between the robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery group (VATS) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
OBJECTIVE: Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) is a surgical antiadrenergic procedure that can reduce sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VT). Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is currently the standard approach used in CSD, and the pr...

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 seg...
BACKGROUND: Both video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy and robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) thymectomy have been suggested as technically sound approaches for early-stage thymic epithelial tumors. However, the choice of VA...
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy has been increasingly applied to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the comparison between robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in the...
