Abstract

This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the literature on robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) pneumonectomy. To evaluate its effectiveness and safety in treating various lung diseases. A thorough search of electronic databases was conducted, and 25 studies encompassing 1,650 patients were included in the review. The review found that robotic VATS pneumonectomy surgery is a safe and effective alternative to traditional open surgery for the treatment of various lung diseases, particularly early-stage lung cancer. The surgery is associated with shorter hospitalizations, less blood loss, and less postoperative pain when compared to traditional open surgery. However, long-term survival outcomes were not significantly different between robotic and open surgery. The review also highlights the need for further studies to determine the optimal use of robotic VATS pneumonectomy surgery in different clinical scenarios and to determine whether the benefits of this technique outweigh the costs. Overall, this systematic review suggests that robotic VATS pneumonectomy surgery is a safe and effective technique that can be used as an alternative to traditional open surgery.
