ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking into the growing use of robotic surgery techniques for a procedure called atypical segmentectomy, which involves removing a specific section of the lung to treat lung cancer. Researchers are reviewing medical records of patients who had lung surgery from 2004 to 2019 to see if using robotic methods has increased the number of these surgeries. The goal is to understand how effective and safe this approach is compared to traditional surgery.

Anyone who has had lung surgery during this period may be eligible to participate in the study, regardless of their age or gender. If you or a family member qualify, you can expect to provide information about your past treatment, and your medical data will be analyzed to help improve future lung cancer surgeries. It’s important to know that this study is currently recruiting participants, so there may be opportunities to get involved if you meet the criteria.
