Recently targeted therapy and immunotherapy have been demonstrated to improve survival in non-operable, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The results of salvage lung resection in patients with initially unresectable advanced NSCLC after immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) or Target Therapy (TT) treatment remain limited and unclear. We aimed to define the outcomes of patients undergoing salvage surgery in a real-life setting.

In this prospective study, we present the outcomes of early discharge (on day 2) with telehealth home monitoring device after robotic lobectomy for lung cancer in selected patients. All patients with a caregiver were discharged on postoperative day 2 (POD 2) with a telemonitoring device provided they met the specific discharge criteria.
