Effect of da Vinci robot versus thoracoscopic surgery on lung function and oxidative stress levels in NSCLC patients: a propensity score-matched study

ConclusionCompared to VATS lobectomy, RATS lobectomy has the advantages of shorter operative time, lesser bleeding, more lymph node dissection, faster postoperative recovery, and lesser impact on postoperative lung function. It is also capable of reducing the postoperative oxidative stress and inflammatory response, which can improve patients ’ quality of life.
