Abstract:

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.
