| description | Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate utilization and perioperative outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) for lung cancer in the United States using a nationally representative database. Methods: Hospital admissions for lobectomy or sublobar resection (segmentectomy or wedge resection) using VATS or RATS in patients with nonmetastatic lung cancer from October 2015 through December 2018 in the National Inpatient Sample were studied. Patient and hospital characteristics, perioperative complications and mortality, length of stay (LOS), and total hospital cost were compared. Logistic regression was used to assess whether the surgical approach was independently associated with adverse outcomes. Results: There were 83,105 patients who had VATS (n = 65,375) or RATS (n = 17,710) for lobectomy (72.7% VATS) or sublobar resection (84.2% VATS). Utilization of RATS for lobectomy and sublobar resection increased from 19.2% to 34% and 7.3% to 22%, respectively. Mortality, LOS, and conversion rates were comparable. The cost was higher for RATS (P <.01). Multivariate analyses showed comparable RATS and VATS complications with no independent association between the minimally invasive surgery approach used and adverse surgical outcomes, except for a decreased risk of pneumonia with RATS, relative to VATS sublobar resection (P <.01). Thoracic complication rates and LOS decreased after RATS lobectomy in 2018, compared with previous years (P <.005). Conclusions: The utilization of robotic-assisted lung resection for cancer has increased in the United States between 2015 and 2018 for sublobar resection and lobectomy. In adjusted regression analysis, compared with VATS, patients who underwent RATS had similar complication rates and LOS. The robotic approach was associated with increased total hospital cost. LOS and thoracic complication rates trended down after RATS lobectomy. |
