  Objective: Robotic surgery or thoracoscopic surgery are both options for minimally invasive lobectomy. While the two strategies are said to have comparable short-term results, it is unknown whether the strategy is more successful against cancer. This study's goal is to examine variations in the long-term patient endurance rates for robotic and thoracoscopic lobectomies. Methods: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) sufferers who had a robotic-assisted (n=42) and thoracoscopic lobectomy (n=387), were analyzed using chance matching. The several groups were identical in every way, including the illnesses they experienced, the treatments they received and the qualities they shared. We analyzed the rates of Cancer Specific Mortality (CSM) and Overall Survival (OS) in the two distinct cohorts. Results: The median follow-up time after surgical treatment was 35 months, a..
