Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Postoperative complications

    complications will be classified according to Clavien-Dindo classfication

    Postoperative complications : within 30 days after surgery

  • Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L) at month 3

    Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L) will be administered at months 3.

    at month 3 after surgery

  • Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-VAS) at month 3

    Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS) will be administered at months 3.

    at month 3 after surgery

  • Postoperative pain

    Pain levels were assessed and recorded using the VAS score more than three times daily during the hospitalization period.

    during hospitalization

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L)

    At 2 weeks before surgery, and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months, as well as at years 2, 3, 4, and 5 after surgery.

  • Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-VAS)

    At 2 weeks before surgery, and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months, as well as at years 2, 3, 4, and 5 after surgery.

  • Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (LCQ)

    at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery.

  • Perioperative outcomes (Conversion rate)

    during hospitalization

  • Perioperative outcomes (number of lymph nodes harvested)

    during hospitalization

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

SP-RATS

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

SP-RATS Arm: 145 patients, single-port anatomical pulmonary resection will be performed using the SP robotic system. A 4-cm single incision will be made below the subcostal margin. A chest tube will be inserted in same incision.

Procedure: Single-port robotic-assisted thoracic surgery

SP-VATS

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

SP-VATS Arm: 145 patients, single-port anatomical pulmonary resection was performed using VATS. A 4-cm incision will be made at 5th intercostal space on the anterior or posterior axillary line. A chest tube will be inserted in same incision.

Procedure: Single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery

Interventions

All patients : 145 patients Single-port anatomical pulmonary resection(segmentectomy, lobectomy) with a complete mediastinal lymph node dissection will be performed using the SP robotic system. A 4-cm single incision will be made below the subcostal margin. A chest tube will be inserted in same incision.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Candidate for anatomical pulmonary resection (segmentectomy or lobectomy) via minimally invasive thoracic surgery (RATS or VATS) for patient with non-small cell lung cancer or suspected malignant lesion.
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Patients who can comply with the requirements of the clinical trial and who, or their legal representatives, provide written consent before the start of the clinical trial
  • Patients with the nationality of South Korea
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists score 1-3.
  • Clinical stage I, II or IIIa non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who require surgery for accompanying other organ diseases
  • Tumor invasion into the chest wall, diaphragm, another lobe or diaphragm
  • Patients who are considered unsuitable based on the researcher's judgment
  • Patients with cognitive impairments who are unable to understand the instructions and informed consent of this study
  • Patients who specifically desire a certain surgical method (robotic, thoracoscopic, open thoracotomy)
  • Patients who previously undergone a thoracic surgical procedure in the hemithorax to be operated on
  • Pathological results other than NSCLC (ex, benign nodules, metastatic lung cancer, SCLC)
  • Patients who received neoadjuvant therapy.
  • Candidate for pneumonectomy, bilobectomy, lobectomy plus segmentectomy, non-anatomic resection (ex, wedge resection).
  • History of other cancers in the past 5 years.

Masking Details
The principal investigator will explain the study at the time of consent for the surgery. Written consent will be obtained by the principal investigator or a sub-investigator. Once eligibility for surgery is confirmed, randomization will take place within 4 weeks prior to the surgery. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either SP-RATS or SP-VATS using a website software randomization system. While the surgeon will be informed of the group allocations, participants will remain unaware (maintaining a single-blind approach) until the completion of the follow-up period
