Article Synopsis
- - The study compared long-term survival outcomes of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for patients with stage Ⅰ non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) between 2015 and 2017.
- - After analyzing data from 518 patients, it was found that RATS had shorter operation times and more lymph nodes removed compared to VATS, but overall survival rates were similar between the two techniques.
- - The analysis indicated that the number of lymph nodes dissected is linked to better overall survival, suggesting that this factor is more crucial than the choice of surgical method.
