This multicenter retrospective study aimed to compare the outcomes of uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (U-RATS) with multiportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (M-RATS). The authors found that, although both methods have a low thirty-day morbidity and mortality rate, U-RATS has a lower operative duration and length of postoperative hospital stay.
