Evaluating the Association of Force Feedback With Outcomes After Lung Resection Using the da Vinci Multiport System
Ohio State University
Summary
The purpose of this research is to study patient outcomes based on the use of Force Feedback instruments during robotic-assisted lung resection. Force Feedback technology describes the physical forces a surgeon senses when pushing and pulling structures inside the body during robotic-assisted surgery.
Description
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 complica…
