Clinical Trial Summary

Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RTS) segmentectomy is safe and effective for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In RTS-segmentectomy, dissection and sealing procedures are performed by either staplers or energy devices. Staplers, the current standard of care, have been associated with higher operating costs compared to energy devices for open lobectomy, RTS lobectomy and minimally invasive segmentectomy. However, there is a lack of prospective research evaluating the costs of the two methods for lung dissection and vessel sealing in RTS-segmentectomy. This prospective trial seeks to determine whether it is feasible to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating the costs of the Signia stapler versus Vessel Sealer Extend energy device in RTS-segmentectomy for NSCLC. If this trial is feasible, we will be able to conduct a full-scale trial to compare costs and health outcomes, providing an economic evaluation that will inform hospital decision makers and clinicians in Canada.
