    ObjectiveAnatomical segmentectomy has the potential to replace lobectomy as the standard procedure for early stage non-small cell lung cancer. We investigated the safety and feasibility of robotic anatomical segmentectomy for non-small cell lung cancer.MethodsOverall 20 patients underwent robotic anatomical segmentectomy at Hiroshima University Hospital between January 2014 and January 2018. The clinicopathological characteristics, surgical outcomes, complications and prognosis were analyzed.ResultsThe median age was 68 (range 42-86) years, and 15 patients were female. Six patients were non-smokers. The most common clinical stage was IA1 (nine patients). Complex segmentectomies were performed in four patients (one right S3 segmentectomy, two right S8 segmentectomies and one left S8 + S9 segmentectomy). The median operation time was 163.5 (range, 114-314) minutes, and the median console time was 104 (range, 60-246) minutes. The median blood loss was 26.5 (range, 5-247) ml. The median resection margin and number of dissected lymph node were 15 (range, 2-60) mm and 5 (range, 1-15), respectively. Although five (25.0%) patients had grade IIIa complications (pleurodesis for prolonged air leakage) and one (5.0%) had a grade IIIb complication (reoperation for prolonged air leakage), no post-operative deaths occurred. The surgical outcomes were comparable with those of anatomical segmentectomy performed under hybrid video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery during the same period.ConclusionIn our initial experience of robotic anatomical segmentectomy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer, the procedure seems to be safe and feasible.© The Author(s) 2020.
