Perioperative mortality did not differ significantly between groups (incidence rate ratio, 1.71; 95% CI, 0.88-3.33). Robotic-assisted surgery was associated with longer anaesthesia time and a higher incidence of mechanical ventilation postoperatively (incidence rate ratio, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.36-2.81), although the absolute difference was small (Marginal risk difference, +0.52 percentage points; 95% CI, +0.14 to +0.91). No significant differences were observed in other major complications, reoperation, or hospital stay.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this large, real-world Japanese cohort including the early experience with robotic surgery, overall perioperative safety was comparable between robotic-assisted and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, although a statistically significant but small absolute increase in postoperative ventilation was observed with the robotic approach. This association remained robust across a series of sensitivity analyses. However, it is likely influenced by unmeasured confounding. Future prospective studies should investigate specific procedural factors, including anaesthetic management and patient selection, to optimize outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
