Prospective analysis compares postoperative pain in robotic and uniportal lobectomies, suggesting improvements for robotic approaches.
Robotic-assisted surgery is associated with higher postoperative pain compared to uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopy, with differences being more pronounced in female patients. We recommend implementing targeted analgesic strategies for robotic procedures and considering the use of 8-mm ports instead of standard 12-mm ports to reduce chest wall trauma.
