Excerpt

Segmentectomy has become a new standard of care for patients with selected peripheral-type early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1 Previous study had demonstrated that video-assisted segmentectomy (VAS) as a minimally invasive approach is safe and effective for anatomic segmentectomy.2 But the deep learning curve due to the rigid chopstick-like instruments and the two-dimensional vision has hindered its application. In recent years, robot-assisted segmentectomy (RAS) has rapidly increased due to the advantages of three-dimensional vision and articulated mechanic surgical arms. However, the outcome comparison between RAS and VAS for small pulmonary nodules remains insufficient.3,4
