“…The effect of case volume on outcomes of RATS lobectomy has been documented (20). The studies identified for this review exhibit small numbers with 12 to 282 patients over several years, representing on average fewer than 20 robotic lobectomy cases per year for three of the four single centers.…”

“…Dylewski et al (25) use four accesses, but only three robotic arms thus sparing the cost of one instrument compared to the four accesses of Cerfolio et al (26). The recent paper by Tchouta et al (32) showed that those robotic lung lobectomies performed in high volume centers were associated with significantly shorter hospital stay and significantly lower mortality. It is reasonable that high volume can also contribute to cost reduction by standardization of patient preparation, robot docking and surgical procedures (9,17) as well as by reducing operating times, hospital stay and complications.…”

“…Surgeon specialty training is also associated with VATS usage: the number of VATS lobectomy performed has increased significantly more among thoracic surgeons than among cardiothoracic and general surgeons (8,9).…”
