This panel presentation argues for a VATS-first strategy to expand safe minimally invasive lobectomy across Latin America. It compares VATS and RATS on patient outcomes, operative efficiency, costs, access, and sustainability, acknowledging robotic advantages while emphasizing context-specific adoption. The discussion highlights U-VATS standardization, selective RATS use in referral hubs, and the need for proctorship, registries, and outcome auditing to scale high-quality thoracic care.
