Robot rumble: which machine does lung surgery better and cheaper?
NCT ID NCT07537556
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two robotic platforms, DaVinci Xi and Versius, used in lung surgery to remove tumors or nodules. Researchers want to see if one leads to better recovery, fewer complications, or lower costs. About 150 patients having robotic lung surgery will answer quality-of-life surveys before and up to a year after surgery.
