Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study is observational, multicenter retrospective and will involve multiple research centers. The aim is to outline the indications for surgical management with robot-assisted pulmonary metastasectomy through a confrontation of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy. The study will focus on pulmonary metastasectomies from any primary solid tumor (with the exception of lung cancer). There are no risks for the patients, as this is a retrospective data collection.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (3)
- label
- open (thoracotomy)
- description
- Nowadays, pulmonary metastasectomy is performed in RATS, VATS or thoracotomy. A thoracotomy is a surgical procedure during which a surgeon accesses the lungs and other nearby organs through an incision in the chest wall.
- label
- RATS (robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery)
- description
- RATS is a minimally invasive surgical technique allowing enhanced view, accurate and complex movements, and high ergonomics for the surgeon.
- label
- VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery)
- description
- VATS is minimally invasive thoracic surgery that does not use a formal thoracotomy incision.
