Long-Term Outcomes of Robotic-Assisted, Video-Assisted and Open Surgery in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Matched Analysis

Abstract: Introduction: This study makes a comparison between stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients subjected to either robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or open thoracotomy, with the aim to evaluate differences between these three approaches in terms of oncological outcomes. Method: We reviewed data from 1367 consecutive patients who, between 2011 and 2017, underwent lobectomy for NSCLC with either open surgery, VATS or RATS, and performed a matched case-cont… Show more

“…However, a recent paper of Casiraghi et al. reported no differences in overall survival and cancer-specific survival between VATS, RATS and open lobectomy for stage I NSCLC patients; even if in VATS, the incidence of recurrences, in particular local recurrences, was higher than in RATS and in open surgery ( 51 ). Anyway, several limits remain typical of RATS if compared to VATS approach, such as the high costs, the availability in peripherical structures and longer learning curve in surgeons without solid mini-invasive background ( 52 ).…”

“…More specifically, the advantages of robotic surgery have been widely investigated in the recent past; nowadays, robotic lobectomy represents the gold standard in the treatment of early lung cancer, being feasible and safe, with clinical outcomes similar, or in some cases superior, to those of video-assisted thoracoscopic or open surgery [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

“…At present, robotic lobectomy is considered an achievable and safe procedure [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ], with clinical and oncological outcomes comparable to those of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)/thoracotomy, both in early [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ] and in advanced stages (II-IIIA NSCLC) with no differences in medium and long-term survival [ 10 ].…”

“…The advantages of minimally invasive and robotic surgery have been widely discussed in the literature, and at present, robotic lobectomy is recognized as being a feasible and safe approach [2][3][4][5], with clinical outcomes similar, or in some cases superior, to those of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) [6][7][8][9], even in advanced stages (II-IIIA NSCLC) [10].…”
