Observational Study on Robotic Atypical Segmentectomies for Lung Carcinoma
This study is looking at how often robotic atypical segmentectomies (removing a section of a lung lobe using robotic surgery) are being performed. Researchers will review medical records from patients who had lung surgery between 2004 and 2019. The goal is to see if robotic surgery has led to an increase in this specific type of lung surgery. They will also compare robotic surgeries to other types of lung resections, like open surgery and VATS (video-assisted thoracic surgery). This study aims to understand the trends in these surgical approaches over time. There are no specific eligibility criteria beyond having undergone a lung resection during the specified time frame.
- Study design
- This is an observational study that will review the medical records of approximately 600 patients. It is not a randomized or blinded study.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study will look at data up to 2 years to measure changes in surgical rates.
