Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study consists in a prospective pilot study evaluating the feasibility and safety of OTC RATS lobectomies in patients treated for lung cancer. All patients with clinical stage I tumors (≤cT2N0M0) planned to undergo a VATS or RATS lobectomy at the CHUM will be approached. At our institution, lobectomies are either performed open by thoracotomy or by MIS, including VATS and RATS. The technique is selected based on tumor size, tumor location and patient characteristics. Only patients already planned for a VATS or RATS lobectomy will be approached. They will be identified through the operation request forms and will be approached either in the preoperative clinic or the day before surgery, when admitted. The investigators aim to recruit 20 patients.

- Out of the Cage Robotic Lobectomy
- description
- Consented patients will undergo lobectomy by OTC RATS following the exact standard steps usually done by VATS/RATS, except for the incisions, that will consist in 1 to 4 subcostal ports, based on the patient and case characteristics.

- Conversion rate
- timeFrame
- Through study completion, an average of 1 year

- Feasibility will be evaluated by completion of the procedure without conversion of the approach or technique. Any change in the treatment plan requiring the use of intercostal ports, conversion to conventional minimally invasive thoracic surgery through intercostal incisions, or conversion to open surgery
