Popis: IntroductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the thoracic robotic approach in a high-volume center regarding procedures and clinical outcomes after 1,000 procedures.MethodsIn a single-center subset of the Epithor® database, a prospective cohort database of French thoracic surgery, we analyzed procedural characteristics and clinical outcomes from February 2014 to April 2023. A surgical technique for lung surgery was conducted with a four-arm closed chest with the port access approach and vascular sewing and knotting were preferred over stapling. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-2 test for discontinuous variables and the Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon test for continuous variables. Tests were considered significant for a p-value
