Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The introduction of robot-assisted surgery is one of the biggest breakthroughs in surgery, and represents the most significant advancement in minimally invasive surgery of recent decades. One of the first surgical uses of the robot was in orthopaedics, neurosurgery and cardiac surgery. However, it's use has now been well recognized in thoracic surgical procedures ranging from mediastinal tumour resection to complex major lung resections.

Robotic surgery by the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc) has been one of the most commonly used robotic systems in surgery. The robotic system overcomes the limitations of the standard thoracoscopic approach and allows for precise dissection in a confined space. These advantages include stable operator-controlled camera, high- definition 3D magnified view of 10 to 12 times, articulating instruments with seven degrees of freedom, motion scaling, and tremor filtration.

Recently the Medtronic Hugo™ surgical robotic system has passed the CE mark. This robotic platform, made up of modular surgical arms on wheeled carts, has started its operation in human in Latin America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The Hugo™ system is designed to provide a lower barrier to entry for hospitals looking to expand their reach in robotic surgery. Compared to the platform by Intuitive Surgical, Hugo™can be customized with up to four independent arms, and rolled to different locations in a hospital when needed.

The investigator's centre is the first robotic surgical centre in Hong Kong since 2005. Over the years, the investigator have established the centre to be one of the leading centre in Hong Kong and the region, with involvement in various new development in thoracic robotic procedures, publications and books, and more recently in robotic endo-lumenal procedures.

In this study, the investigator evaluate the early surgical outcome and objective functional outcome of patients undergoing robotic thoracic surgery by the Medtronic Hugo™ surgical robotic system.
