Robotic‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery improves perioperative outcomes in overweight and obese patients with non–small‐cell lung cancer undergoing lobectomy: A propensity score matching analysis

Abstract

RAL might have potential advantages in terms of lymph node assessment, reducing intraoperative blood loss, and shortening operation duration. Overweight and obese patients could benefit more from RAL because of reduced risk of postoperative complications.
