About this trial
The purpose of this research is to study patient outcomes based on the use of Force Feedback instruments during robotic-assisted lung resection. Force Feedback technology describes the physical forces a surgeon senses when pushing and pulling structures inside the body during robotic-assisted surgery.

Trial population
Participants in this research will include individuals ages 18 years or older who are undergoing robotic-assisted anatomic lung resection (lobectomy or segmentectomy) at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUMC).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Textbook Recovery
The primary endpoint will be the textbook recovery, which will be defined as chest tube removal within 48 hours post-surgery, based on absence of air leak, absence of major complications or mortality within 30 days, no chest tube reinsertion, no atrial fibrillation, early hospital discharge with length of stay \<3 days, and absence of readmission. The rates of textbook recovery will be compared between patients undergoing anatomic lung resection with or without Force Feedback instruments.
Secondary outcomes
Total Opioid Consumption
Post-Operative Pain Scores
Percutaneous drainage/output from chest tube in milliliters (mL)
Length of Chest Tube Duration
Other outcomes
Instrument Tip Forces
Correlative endpoints will be instrument tip forces measured by the Force Feedback Instruments, including average and peak forces, time above 6.5N and overall work (cumulative force over time) for the overall case and for selected operative steps as determined by video segmentation. An exploratory analysis will be performed to test the associated between dV5 system instrument tip forces (average for the case and per tasks) with primary and secondary outcomes.
