Thoracoscopic segmentectomy versus lobectomy: A propensity score-matched analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative complications, perioperative course, and survival among patients from the multicentric Spanish Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery Group database who received video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy or video-assisted thoracic surgery anatomic segmentectomy.

Methods

From December 2016 to March 2018, a total of 2250 patients were collected from 33 centers. Overall analysis (video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy = 2070; video-assisted thoracic surgery anatomic segmentectomy = 180) and propensity score-matched adjusted analysis (video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy = 97; video-assisted thoracic surgery anatomic segmentectomy = 97) were performed to compare postoperative results. Kaplan-Meier and competing risks method were used to compare survival.

Results

In the overall analysis, video-assisted thoracic surgery anatomic segmentectomy showed a lower incidence of respiratory complications (relative risk, 0.56; confidence interval, 0.37-0.83; P = .002), lower postoperative prolonged air leak (relative risk, 0.42; 95% confidence interval, 0.23-0.78; P = .003), and shorter median postoperative stay (4.8 vs 6.2 days; P = .004) than video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy. After propensity score-matched analysis, prolonged air leak remained significantly lower in video-assisted thoracic surgery anatomic segmentectomy (relative risk, 0.33; 95% confidence interval, 0.12-0.89; P = .02). Kaplan-Meier and competing risk curves showed no differences during the 3-year follow-up (median follow-up in months: 24.4; interquartile range, 20.8-28.3) in terms of overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.45-1.7; P = .2), tumor progression-related mortality (subdistribution hazard ratio, 0.41; 95% confidence interval, 0.11-1.57; P = .2), and disease-free survival (subdistribution hazard ratio, 0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.35-1.51; P = .4) between groups.

Conclusions

Video-assisted thoracic surgery segmentectomy showed results similar to lobectomy in terms of postoperative outcomes and midterm survival. In addition, a lower incidence of prolonged air leak was found in patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery anatomic segmentectomy.

Project description:BackgroundEnhanced recovery pathways or fast-tracking following surgery can decrease the rate of postoperative complications and hospital length of stay. The objectives of this study were to implement an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway for patients undergoing a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy, to assess the safety and efficiency of this protocol by measuring associated postoperative outcomes, and to compare the outcomes for patients in the ERAS group with the outcomes for patients in a propensity-matched control group.MethodsThe study was a prospective clinical trial. Patients who were scheduled to undergo VATS lobectomy at the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal in Montréal, Quebec, Canada, were enrolled between November 2015 and October 2016. The ERAS pathway was used for all enrolled patients. The primary outcome was the number and severity of complications measured by the Comprehensive Complication Index. Secondary outcomes included length of stay, readmission and recovery. Recovery of patients was measured using EQ-5D-5L preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month and 4 months after surgery. Prospectively enrolled patients were propensity matched to historical controls.ResultsNinety-eight patients (36 men and 62 women) in the ERAS group and 98 patients in the control group (29 men and 69 women) were included in the analysis. The mean age was 65.2 ± 9.3 years, the mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.9 ± 5.9 kg/m2 and the median Charlson Comorbidity Index score was 2 (interquartile range [IQR] 2-3) in the ERAS group. In the control group, the mean age was 66.2 ± 9.4 years, the mean BMI was 27.4 ± 5.6 kg/m2 and the median Charlson Comorbidity Index score was 3 (IQR 2-3). A total of 23 patients (23.4%) in the ERAS group and 28 (28.6%) in the control group experienced 1 or more postoperative complications. The mean Comprehensive Complication Index score was 7.4 ± 16.8 in the ERAS group compared with 8.0 ± 14.3 in the control group (p = 0.79). The median postoperative length of stay was 3 days in the ERAS group and 5 days in the control group (p < 0.001). Five patients in the ERAS group and 4 patients in the control group were readmitted. The protocol adherence rate was 64.3%.ConclusionIt is feasible to implement an enhanced recovery protocol after VATS lobectomy. Although the pathway is still early in its development in Canada, implementation of an ERAS pathway after VATS lobectomy was associated with decreased length of stay, with no observable increase in complication or readmission rates.
