To evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of robotic lobectomy in the treatment of lung cancer, we analyzed the outcomes of our initial experiences with robotic lobectomy at a single institution in Korea.
Methods: Eighty-seven patients with lung cancer underwent robotic lobectomy (robotic group: 34 patients) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy (VATS group: 53 patients) between 2011 and 2016 at our hospital. The medical records of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: The operation times of the two groups were significantly different (robotic group, 293±74 min; VATS group, 201±62 min; P},
