Effect of advanced age on peri-operative outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy: Retrospective analysis of 287 consecutive cases.

Objectives: We investigated whether advanced age affects peri-operative outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomies.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent robotic-assisted lobectomy by one surgeon over a 5-year period. Rates of postoperative complications were compared according to age group.
