Evaluating the Association of Force Feedback With Outcomes After Lung Resection Using the da Vinci Multiport System

The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate whether reduced force applied at the tips of Force Feedback instruments is associated with improvements in outcomes following robotic-assisted anatomic lung resections. The investigators propose a prospective cohort study of patients undergoing anatomic lung resection at a single high volume thoracic surgery institution to analyze outcomes based on the use of Force Feedback instruments. Investigators will use a composite endpoint of textbook recovery to capture patients who have an uncomplicated postsurgical trajectory with absence of complication, early discharge, and absence of readmission. The insights gained from this study will help surgeons understand the implications of force applied during thoracic surgical procedures and establishing the value of Force Feedback instruments. The investigators hypothesize that the use of Force Feedback instruments will result in an increase in the rate of early hospital discharge (length of stay less than 3 days) in patients undergoing robotic-assisted anatomic lung resections.
