NCT ID NCT04644952

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study reviews medical records from 600 lung cancer patients who had lung surgery between 2004 and 2019. Researchers want to see if the use of robotic surgery has led to more atypical segmentectomies, a type of partial lung removal. The goal is to understand trends in surgical approaches, not to test a new treatment.
