Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome after right lower lobectomy for lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare condition characterized by dyspnoea and deoxygenation in an upright position that is relieved by supine positioning. There are only five published accounts of it occurring post-lobectomy. We present the case of a 72-year-old male with 3 months of supposedly unexplained dyspnoea after right lower lobectomy for lung cancer who was confirmed to have POS. We highlight the importance of recognition and management as well as provide a brief summary of the pathophysiology.

Right Lower Sleeve Bilobectomy for Lung Cancer with Posteparterial Tracheal Bronchus.

Project description:A 42-year-old man was diagnosed with cancer of the right lower lung lobe with a posteparterial type of tracheal bronchus, in which the posterior segmental bronchus of the right upper lobe arose from the distal bronchus intermedius. A mass involved the distal bronchus intermedius, requiring a right lower bilobectomy with an additional posterior segmental resection of the right upper lung lobe. Thus, we performed a right lower bilobectomy and sleeve anastomosis of the posterior segmental bronchus of the right upper lobe to the proximal bronchus intermedius, sparing the pulmonary parenchyma of the same lobe.

Drainless Thoracoscopic Lobectomy for Lung Cancer.

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.

Survival rates after lobectomy versus sublobar resection for early-stage right middle lobe non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:BackgroundLung cancer in the right middle lobe has a poorer prognosis than tumors located in other lobes. The optimal surgical procedure for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the right middle lobe has not yet been elucidated. The aim of this study was to compare survival rates after lobectomy and sublobar resection for early-stage right middle lobe NSCLC.MethodsPatients who underwent lobectomy or sublobar resection for stage IA right middle lobe NSCLC tumors ? 2 cm between 2004 and 2014 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database of 18 registries. Cox regression model analysis was used to evaluate the prognostic factors. The lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) and overall survival (OS) rates between the two groups were compared.ResultsA total of 861 patients met our criteria, including 662 (76.9%) patients who underwent lobectomy and 199 (23.1%) patients who underwent sublobar resection. No statistical differences in LCSS and OS rates were identified between the groups of patients with stage IA right middle lobe NSCLC ? 1 cm. For tumors > 1-2 cm, lobectomy was associated with more favorable LCSS and OS rates compared to sublobar resection.ConclusionLobectomy and sublobar resection deliver a comparable prognosis for patients with stage IA right middle lobe NSCLC ? 1 cm. For tumors > 1-2 cm, lobectomy showed better survival rates than sublobar resection.

A simplified model for determining the cutting plane during thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy of the right lower lobe.

Project description:BackgroundFew studies have examined the use of two-dimensional computed tomography (2D CT) and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction images to determine the intersegmental plane (ISP) for pulmonary segmentectomy, but a systematic approach and nomenclature are currently lacking. This current study used 3D reconstruction of CT imaging to analyze variations in the right lower lobe's pulmonary ISP and created a simplified model to determine the optimum cutting plane (CP) for clinical application for operative planning and use during thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy (APL).MethodsBetween January 2018 and October 2019, 325 patients with pulmonary lesions were identified who underwent thin-slice CT scans of the chest. The ISPs were identified by analyzing the 2D CT scans and 3D reconstruction images and the anatomical characteristics segmental boundary. The CP for the thoracoscopic procedure was then determined within the safe surgical margins, and a simplified CP model was created.ResultsThe boundary between adjacent lung segment A and segment B was be expressed as "ISP: Sa-Sb". The ISP was divided into venous ISP (VISP), arterial ISP (AISP), and bronchial ISP (BISP). The proposed model of the CP can be expressed as follows: CP (f) = (V/A/B) ISP (x) + (V/A/B) sub ISP (y) + (V/A/B) sub-sub ISP (z).ConclusionsThis report is a first attempt to provide a nomenclature for identifying the ISP, and create a simplified model for determining the CP for thoracoscopic partial lobectomy.

Stapling of an endobronchial suction tube with the bronchus during robot-assisted right lower lobectomy: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundTroubleshooting intraoperative complications requires careful management, and the safest technique should be chosen. We recently experienced a unique intraoperative bronchial complication during pulmonary lobectomy in robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). There is no consensus on whether to continue RATS or convert to a more familiar technique, such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or thoracotomy, for intraoperative complications that occur during RATS, and the decision should be determined individually.Case presentationA 74-year-old woman with primary lung adenocarcinoma (clinical stage IA2) underwent robot-assisted right lower lobectomy under one-lung ventilation and CO2 insufflation. Intraoperatively, the anesthesiologist placed the endobronchial suction tube in the right bronchus with intention of maintaining the right lung collapse, which was simultaneously stapled with the right lower bronchus during the right lower lobe bronchial closure using a robotic stapler. During robot-assisted manipulation, we removed the staples involved with the suction tube, one by one, using robotic-arm forceps and sutured the partially opened stump. Subsequently, the bronchial stump was covered with a pedicled pericardial fat pad. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient developed no complications when followed up 8 months after discharge. Hence, we could rectify this intraoperative bronchial complication using a robot-assisted technique and avoid conversion to VATS or thoracotomy.ConclusionThe precise manipulation techniques in RATS contributed to facilitate the successful execution of surgical procedures, such as staple removal and re-suturing of the bronchial stump and may be a useful as a method for such troubleshooting such intraoperative complications.

Accessory right V6 behind the bronchus intermedius during VATS right upper lobectomy.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:The anatomical abnormalities in pulmonary veins can have a serious impact on pulmonary resections. PRESENTATION OF CASE:We report the case of a 70-year-old woman undergoing VATS right upper lobectomy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. During subcarinal dissection, an anomalous vein draining from the superior segment of the right lower lobe into the left atrium and passing behind the bronchus intermedius was incidentally discovered. The patient had, in addition to the inferior pulmonary vein formed by the confluence of superior and common basal veins, a supernumerary vessel identified as: accessory right V6. Retrospective review of preoperative enhanced chest computed tomography confirmed the pulmonary vascular anomaly. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION:A careful dissection during pulmonary resections can help to recognize variations of the pulmonary veins, avoiding unexpected intraoperative complications.
