Pioneering Experience of Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Anterior Release of Severe Thoracic Scoliosis.

ABSTRACT: The optimal way to treat severe thoracic scoliosis remains controversial. Compared with conventional procedures, the uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UniVATS) rises in popularity in thoracic surgery because of less pain and faster recovery. This retrospective study aimed to apply UniVATS to treat severe thoracic scoliosis. Between October 2013 and March 2018, eight scoliotic patients with extremely large Cobb angle and profoundly limited flexibility underwent UniVATS for anterior release, followed by posterior instrumentation and fusion. The mean age at the time of surgery was 14.8?±?2.4 years and the mean follow-up was 2.2?±?1.3 years. The average levels of anterior thoracic discectomy and posterior fusion were 3.6?±?0.7 and 11.5?±?1.2, respectively. The mean coronal and sagittal correction rates were 70?±?19% and 71?±?23%, respectively. UniVATS contributed to minor access trauma (3-cm incision) with minimal blood loss, shorter operation time (75?±?13?mins), less requirement of stay in the intensive care unit (0.3?±?0.5 day) or chest tube placement (0.3?±?0.7 day), speedier and narcotic-free recovery, and earlier ambulation within one day. This is the first study to assess the safety and efficacy of UniVATS in the treatment of severely stiff thoracic scoliosis, providing comparable surgical outcomes, less pain, faster recovery and superior cosmetic results without significant complications.

Project description:BackgroundIn recent years, opportunities to conduct anatomical segmentectomies for early stage lung cancer, metastatic lung tumor, and so on have been increasing. Generally, uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS) uncommon segmentectomy is technically more complicated because of limited angulation compared to multiportal VATS (M-VATS) and the need to treat peripheral vessels/bronchi compared to common segmentectomy. This study aimed to determine the safety and feasibility of U-VATS uncommon segmentectomy compared with U-VATS common segmentectomy and M-VATS uncommon segmentectomy.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 76 patients in the M-VATS group and 45 patients in the U-VATS group who underwent VATS segmentectomy from January 2015 to December 2020. During that period, the perioperative results of U-VATS uncommon (n=22) segmentectomy were compared with those of U-VATS common (n=23) and M-VATS uncommon (n=37) segmentectomy. Uncommon segmentectomy was defined as any segmentectomy other than segmentectomies of the lingual, basilar, or superior segment of the lower lobe (S6), and upper division of the left upper lobe. All patients in our department underwent preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) angiography and bronchography to image bronchovascular structures and determine the resection line.ResultsPatients characteristics were similar between the U-VATS uncommon segmentectomy group and the U-VATS common segmentectomy group or the M-VATS uncommon segmentectomy group. In U-VATS, there were no significant differences between common and uncommon segmentectomy in operation time, postoperative drainage, postoperative hospitalization, and postoperative complications. Comparing M-VATS and U-VATS uncommon segmentectomies, operation time (145±35 vs. 185±44 min, P<0.001) and postoperative hospitalization (3.1±1.6 vs. 4.2±1.8 days, P=0.02) were significantly shorter in the U-VATS group than in the M-VATS group. There were no significant differences in blood loss, intraoperative bleeding, duration of postoperative drainage and postoperative complications.ConclusionsIn U-VATS, both types of segmentectomies can be achieved with similar results. Moreover, U-VATS shortened operation time and postoperative hospitalization in uncommon segmentectomy compared with conventional M-VATS. U-VATS is a useful approach for uncommon segmentectomy.

Project description:BackgroundCough is one of the shared complications after lung surgery. In this study, a prospective analysis was conducted for exploring the risk factors of persistent cough after uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection.MethodsOne hundred thirty-five patients with pulmonary nodules who underwent surgical treatment in the same surgical group from November 2019 to January 2020 were enrolled in this prospective study. The severity of cough and its impact on patients' quality of life before and after surgery were assessed by the Mandarin Chinese version of the Leicester cough questionnaire (LCQ-MC), and postoperative cough was tested by the cough visual analog scale (VAS) and cough symptom score (CSS). Risk factors of cough after pulmonary resection (CAP) were determined by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsThe incidence of postoperative cough was 24.4% (33 of 135 patients). Univariate analysis showed that gender (female), the surgical site (upper right), the resection (lobectomy), subcarinal lymph node dissection, postoperative acid reflux, length of hospitalization contributed to the development of CAP resection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the resection (lobectomy) (OR 3.590, 95% CI: 0.637-20.300, P=0.017), subcarinal lymph node dissection (OR 4.420, 95% CI: 1.342-14.554, P=0.001), postoperative acid reflux (OR 13.55, 95% CI: 3.186-57.633, P<0.001) and duration of anesthesia (over 153 minutes, OR 0.987, 95% CI: 0.978-0.997, P=0.011) were independent risk factors for postoperative cough.ConclusionsThe application of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic techniques to several types of lung surgery are conducive to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Postoperative cough is related to an ocean of factors, the resection (lobectomy), subcarinal lymph node dissection, postoperative acid reflux, and duration of anesthesia (over 153 minutes) are independent high-risk factors for CAP resection.Trial registrationThis study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04204148).
