Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to study patient outcomes based on the use of Force Feedback instruments during robotic-assisted lung resection. Force Feedback technology describes the physical forces a surgeon senses when pushing and pulling structures inside the body during robotic-assisted surgery.

Conditions

Lobectomy; Segmentectomy; Force Measurement

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Textbook Recovery

  The primary endpoint will be the textbook recovery, which will be defined as chest tube removal within 48 hours post-surgery, based on absence of air leak, absence of major complications or mortality within 30 days, no chest tube reinsertion, no atrial fibrillation, early hospital discharge with length of stay \<3 days, and absence of readmission. The rates of textbook recovery will be compared between patients undergoing anatomic lung resection with or without Force Feedback instruments.

  From surgery date to 30 days post-operative

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Total Opioid Consumption

  From admission to the hospital for robotic-assisted anatomic lung resection (lobectomy or segmentectomy) to discharge from the hospital, an average of 2 to 4 days

• Post-Operative Pain Scores

  From admission to the hospital for robotic-assisted anatomic lung resection (lobectomy or segmentectomy) to discharge from the hospital, an average of 2 to 4 days

• Percutaneous drainage/output from chest tube in milliliters (mL)

  At 24 hours and 48 hours post chest tube insertion

• Length of Chest Tube Duration

  From admission to the hospital for robotic-assisted anatomic lung resection (lobectomy or segmentectomy) to discharge from the hospital, an average of 2 to 4 days

Other Outcomes (1)

• Instrument Tip Forces

  From robot docking to robot undocking during surgical procedure

Study Arms (2)

da Vinci 5 Robotic Surgical System

da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System
