Project description:Despite the advances in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), vascular reconstruction of the pulmonary artery (PA) is still infrequently performed by thoracic surgeons because of the technical difficulties and the increased operative risk during thoracoscopy. The few published reports have been performed by using 3-4 incisions. We present the first report of a pulmonary artery reconstruction procedure performed by a single-incision VATS technique. A 73-year old male patient was operated on by the thoracoscopic approach through a single 4-cm incision with no rib spreading. The postoperative recovery was uneventful.

Project description:Drainless video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) wedge resection has been demonstrated as feasible in treating various lung diseases. However, it remains unknown whether this surgical technique can be effectively applied to lobectomy. In the current study, we evaluated the perioperative outcome of drainless, minimally invasive lobectomy in patients with lung cancer. A total of 26 lung cancer patients who received surgery-performed pulmonary lobectomy were enrolled. The perioperative outcomes were analyzed based on a propensity score matching a comparison with those who had chest drainage. No major surgical morbidity and mortality was noted during the perioperative period. The mean of postoperative hospital stay was 5.08 ± 2.48 days. There was no significant difference in postoperative hospital stay between the two groups of patients. However, the presence of significant postoperative pain (VAS score > 30) on the first day after surgery was less in the drainless group (34.6% vs. 3.8%; p = 0.005). Our results demonstrated that drainless, minimally invasive lobectomy for selected lung cancer patients is feasible. Further evaluation of its impact on short- and long-term surgical outcomes is required in the future.

Project description:BackgroundPreoperative two-dimensional manual measurement of pulmonary artery diameter in a single-cut axial view computed tomography (CT) image is a commonly used non-invasive prediction method for pulmonary hypertension. However, the accuracy may be unreliable. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the correlation of short-term surgical outcomes and pulmonary artery/aorta (PA/Ao) diameter ratio measured by automated three-dimensional (3D) segmentation in lung cancer patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy.Materials and methodsWe included 383 consecutive lung cancer patients with thin-slice CT images who underwent lobectomy at a single institute between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2019. Automated 3D segmentation models were used for 3D vascular reconstruction and measurement of the average diameters of Ao and PA. Propensity-score matching incorporating age, Charlson comorbidity index, and lobectomy performed by uniportal VATS was used to compare clinical outcomes in patients with PA/Ao ratio ≥1 and those <1.ResultsOur segmentation method measured 29 (7.57%) patients with a PA/Ao ratio ≥1. After propensity-score matching, a higher overall postoperative complication classified by the Clavien-Dindo classification (p = 0.016) were noted in patients with 3D PA/Ao diameter ratio ≥1 than those of <1. By multivariate logistic regression, patients with a 3D PA/Ao ratio ≥ 1 (p = 0.013) and tumor diameter > 3 cm (p = 0.002) both significantly predict the incidence of postoperative complications.ConclusionsPulmonary artery/aorta diameter ratio ≥ 1 measured by automated 3D segmentation may predict postoperative complications in lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy.

Project description:BackgroundThoracoscopic segmentectomy is increasingly used in the surgical treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. However, it remains unclear whether pulmonary function loss after thoracoscopic lung resection is in direct proportion to the number of resected segments, and thus intentional thoracoscopic segmentectomy has the function-preserving advantage over thoracoscopic lobectomy.MethodsIn this prospective observational study, spirometry tests were performed preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. The observed functional loss was compared with the expected loss estimated by the segment counting method. Resection extent index was introduced as the number of resected segments to total number of segments in the corresponding lobe. Spirometry changes after thoracoscopic lobectomy and intentional thoracoscopic segmentectomy were compared using propensity score matching.ResultsThere were 338 thoracoscopic lobectomies and 321 thoracoscopic segmentectomies. Overall, the observed pulmonary function loss after segmentectomy was significantly less than after lobectomy. But the observed functional loss was significantly greater than the expected loss after segmentectomy. And pulmonary function loss per segment resected was almost doubled after segmentectomy comparing to lobectomy. For segmentectomies with a resection extent index less than 0.5, especially single segmentectomies, pulmonary function loss was significantly less than after corresponding lobectomies. Otherwise, no significant differences in spirometry changes between lobectomies and segmentectomies were detected.ConclusionsPulmonary function loss after thoracoscopic lung resection cannot be accurately evaluated by the number of resected segments. According to the resection extent index, intentional thoracoscopic segmentectomy may help preserve more pulmonary function than thoracoscopic lobectomy only when less than half of the corresponding lobe are resected.

Project description:This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the use of sugammadex in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy.Data were obtained from medical record review of patients who underwent VATS lobectomy from January 2013 to November 2014. Fifty patients were divided into two groups: the sugammadex group (group S, n = 19) was administered sugammadex 2 mg/kg, while the pyridostigmine group (group P, n = 31) received pyridostigmine 20 mg with glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg or atropine 0.5 mg. The primary endpoint measure was the overall incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications including prolonged air leak, pneumonia, and atelectasis. The secondary endpoint measures were the length of postoperative hospital stay and duration of chest tube insertion.The overall incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients in group S was significantly lower compared with that of group P (5 [26.3%] vs. 17 [54.8%]; P = 0.049). Also, the durations of chest tube insertion (5.0 [4.0-7.0] vs. 7.0 [6.0-8.0] days; P = 0.014) and postoperative hospital stay (8.0 [8.0-10.0] vs. 10.0 [9.0-11.0] days; P = 0.019) were shorter in group S compared with group P. Administration of sugammadex was associated reduced with postoperative pulmonary complications (OR: 0.22; 95% CI: 0.05-0.87; P = 0.031).The use of sugammadex, compared with pyridostigmine, showed a significantly reduced overall incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and decreased duration of chest tube use and postoperative hospital stay in patients undergoing VATS lobectomy, suggesting that sugammadex might be helpful in improving clinical outcomes in such patients.

Project description:The objective of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate the survival, recurrence rate, and complications in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or open lobectomy. A literature search was conducted on June 31, 2012 using combinations of the search terms video-assisted thoracic surgery, open thoracotomy, lobectomy, and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Inclusion criteria were: 1) Compared video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy with open lobectomy. 2) Stage I NSCLC. 2) No previous treatment for lung cancer. 4) Outcome data included 5-year survival rate, complication, and recurrence rate. Tests of heterogeneity, sensitivity, and publication bias were performed. A total of 23 studies (21 retrospective and 2 prospective) met the inclusion criteria. VATS was associated with a longer 5-year survival (odds ratio [OR] = 1.622, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.272 to 2.069; P<0.001), higher local recurrence rate (OR = 2.152, 95% CI 1.349 to 3.434; P = 0.001), similar distant recurrence rate (OR = 0.91, 95% CI 0.33 to 2.48; P = 0.8560), and lower total complication rate (OR = 0.45, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.84; P = 0.013) compared to open lobectomy. VATS was also associated with lower rates arrhythmias, prolonged air leakage, and pneumonia but it did not show any statistical significance. Patients with stage I NSCLC undergoing VATS lobectomy had longer survival and fewer complications than those who received open lobectomy.

Project description:BACKGROUND:In recent years, the technique of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has been developed. As a new surgical method, its feasibility and safety have not been generally recognized. The aim of this study is to review the technology in the treatment of lung cancer patients in stage I to part of stage IIIa. METHODS:The clinical data of patients accepted thoracoscopic resection of lung cancer by a same medical group from May 2018 to March 2019 in The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed. After remove of cases that did not meet the requirements, the patients were divided into uniportal group (55 cases) and biportal group (87 cases). The clinical data of the two groups were collected and statistically analyzed. RESULTS:All the 142 patients underwent lobectomy and systemic lymph node dissection. There is no perioperative death in both groups. There was no significant difference in age, location of tumors, pathological type, size of tumors and pathological tumor-node-metastasis (pTNM) staging between uniportal group and biportal group (P>0.05). The operation time [(167.65±43.85) min vs (181.71±51.28) min], the intraoperative bleeding volume [(57.45±50.19) mL vs (87.47±132.54) mL], the indwelling time of drainage tube [(4.82±2.82) d vs (5.84±3.43) d] and the hospital stay [(6.91±3.88) d vs (7.74±3.87) d] were less in uiportal group compared to biportal group, though no significant difference occurred (P>0.05 ). The total drainage volume of uniportal group was significantly lower than that of biportal group [(1,064.82±776.38) mL vs (1,658.71±1,722.38) mL], and the visual analogue score of 24 hours and 72 hours after operation [(4.73±0.73) points vs (5.25±0.74) points; (2.16±0.71) points vs (2.55±0.86) points] were lower in uniportal group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer is safe and feasible for stage I to part of stage IIIa lung cancer patients.

Project description:RATIONALE:Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open lobectomy are both standard of care for the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) because of equivalent long-term survival. OBJECTIVES:To evaluate whether the improved perioperative outcomes associated with VATS lobectomy are explained by surgeon characteristics, including case volume and specialty training. METHODS:We analyzed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare-linked registry to identify stage I-II NSCLC in patients above 65 years of age. We used a propensity score model to adjust for differences in patient characteristics undergoing VATS versus open lobectomy. Perioperative complications, extended length of stay, and perioperative mortality among patients were compared after adjustment for surgeon's volume and specialty using linear mixed models. We compared survival using a Cox model with robust standard errors. RESULTS:We identified 9,508 patients in the registry who underwent lobectomy for early-stage NSCLC. VATS lobectomies were more commonly performed by high-volume surgeons (P < 0.001) and thoracic surgeons (P = 0.01). VATS lobectomy was associated with decreased adjusted odds of cardiovascular complications (odds ratio [OR] = 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.47-0.90), thromboembolic complications (OR = 0.47; 95% CI = 0.38-0.58), extrapulmonary infections (OR = 0.75; 95% CI = 0.61-0.94), extended length of stay (OR = 0.47; 95% CI = 0.40-0.56), and perioperative mortality (OR = 0.33; 95% CI = 0.23-0.48) even after controlling for differences in surgeon volume and specialty. Long-term survival was equivalent for VATS and open lobectomy (hazard ratio = 0.95; 95% CI = 0.85-1.08) after controlling for patient and tumor characteristics, surgeon volume, and specialization. CONCLUSIONS:VATS lobectomy for NSCLC is associated with better postoperative outcomes, but similar long-term survival, compared with open lobectomy among older adults, even after controlling for surgeon experience.
