V-209 Proctor-Based Implementation Of A RATS-Program - Propensity-Matched Feasibility And Oncological Results
Hintergrund
Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) offers same benefits as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) with additional advantages like angled instruments, better visualization and tremor filtration. In Germany, the development of RATS is still in its beginnings. In recent years, RATS implementation has been facilitated by proctoring and this is intended to lead to a faster and safe introduction with shortening of the learning curve. To evaluate proctor-based implementation, we compared RATS implementation with and without proctoring in three German Centers.
