Safety and short-term efficacy of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been previously proven; however, RATS for N2 stage NSCLC was barely evaluated. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to explore the short-term outcome of RATS for cN2 stage NSCLC.
