Objective:
To compare the early outcomes of video-assisted and robot-assisted lobectomy.
Material And Methods:
There were 74 robot-assisted lung resections for the period 2017-2018. Sixty-six patients underwent lobectomy and 8 - segmentectomy. Patients were divided into 2 groups to compare thoracoscopic procedures. The main group consisted of 66 patients after robot-assisted lobectomy. The control group included 247 patients after video-assisted lobectomy. Mean age of patients was 60.5 years (range 35-70). There 72% men and 28% women.
Conclusion:
Both thoracoscopic procedures are characterized by high efficiency and safety. However, certain disadvantages are peculiar to both methods.
