Comparison of Biportal Versus Multiportal Robotic Approaches for Pulmonary Resection in NSCLC

Summary

This study compares two established robotic surgical approaches for removing lung tumors in adults with non-small cell lung cancer: biportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (biRATS) and multiportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (multiRATS). Participants are assigned at random to one of the two approaches. The study will compare surgical safety, recovery after surgery, pain, length of hospital stay, quality of life, and other clinical outcomes during 12 months of follow-up.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Adults aged 18 years or older, of any sex.
* Non-small cell lung cancer considered clinically resectable, confirmed preoperatively or during surgery.
* Candidate for pulmonary resection by robotic thoracic surgery.
* Written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Declines participation or cannot provide written informed consent.
* Thoracic anatomical abnormalities that preclude or materially affect robotic surgery.
* Active thoracic infection.
* Surgery not performed by a participating surgeon with comparable experience in biRATS and multiRATS.
