**5.1 Pulmonary lobectomy**

The most common RATS in children is lobectomy. The first publication on robotic lobectomy, including pediatric cases, was by Park et al. [137], in 2006. Series with few cases of segmental lung resections and lobectomies have been published with excellent results with conversions mainly on the first attempt [14, 15, 133, 136]. Addressing the disadvantages of RATS lobectomy, a prolonged total operative time was reported, but without having a negative effect, since it did not increase the postoperative morbidity and mortality of patients [138].
