Abstract
The lung is the second site of metastasis after the liver, affecting 30 to 40 % of all patients with a malignant tumor. Chemotherapy seems to be ineffective for some types of tumor. Although there are no prospective randomized studies that confirm the benefit of surgical pulmonary metastasectomy, many studies have shown the existence of a group of patients with pulmonary metastases who benefit from a complete resection for curative purposes in case of complete resection of lung metastases. Different approaches are known to achieve a complete resection with maximum lung parenchyma sparing. Minimal invasive approaches appear to offer a better quality of life and have equivalent oncologic outcomes compared to the open approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Volatile anaesthetics can provide significant protection against reperfusion injury in various experimental settings. The aim of this study was to assess the potential of sevoflurane treatment, the most commonly used volatile anaesthetic in modern anaesthesia, in rat lungs donated after circulatory death and reconditioned in an ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) system. METHODS Fifteen rats were sacrificed and divided into 3 groups. In the control and sevoflurane groups, the heart-lung blocks were exposed to 1 h of warm ischaemia and 2 h of cold ischaemia and were mounted on an EVLP circuit for 3 h, in the absence or in the presence of 2% sevoflurane. In the baseline group, heart-lung blocks were harvested immediately after euthanasia. Physiological data, lung nitro-oxidative stress, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), expression of cytokines, oedema and histopathological findings were assessed during or post-EVLP. RESULTS The sevoflurane group showed significantly reduced LDH (8.82 ± 3.58 arbitrary unit vs 3.80 ± 3.02 arbitrary unit, P = 0.03), protein carbonyl (1.17 ± 0.44 nmol⋅mg-1 vs 0.55 ± 0.11 nmol⋅mg-1, P = 0.006), 3-nitrotyrosine (197.44 ± 18.47 pg⋅mg-1 vs 151.05 ± 23.54 pg⋅mg-1, P = 0.004), cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant factor 1 (1.17 ± 0.32 ng⋅mg-1 vs 0.66 ± 0.28 ng⋅mg-1, P = 0.03) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (1.50 ± 0.59 vs 0.59 ± 0.38 ng⋅mg-1, P = 0.02) when compared with the control group. In addition, sevoflurane lungs gained significantly less weight (0.72 ± 0.09 g vs 0.72 ± 0.09 g, P = 0.044), had less perivascular oedema (0.58 ± 0.09 vs 0.47 ± 0.07, P = 0.036), and improved static pulmonary compliance (+0.215 ml⋅cmH2O-1, P = 0.003) and peak airways pressure (-1.33 cmH2O, P = 0.04) but similar oxygenation capacity (+1.61 mmHg, P = 0.77) and pulmonary vascular resistances (+0.078 mmHg⋅min⋅ml-1, P = 0.15) when compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the potential of sevoflurane in protecting the lungs donated after cardiac death and reconditioned using EVLP could improve the outcome of these lungs following subsequent transplantation.

Abstract
Background Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs have been reported to decrease complications and shorten hospital stays after lung resections, but their implementation requires time and financial investment with dedicated staff. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and economic outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) anatomical pulmonary resections before and after implementation of an ERAS program. Methods The first 50 consecutive patients undergoing VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy for malignancy after implementation of an ERAS program were compared with 50 consecutive patients treated before its introduction. The ERAS protocol included preoperative counseling, reduced preoperative fasting with concomitant carbohydrate loading, avoidance of premedication, standardized surgery, anesthesia and postoperative analgesia, early removal of chest tube, nutrition and mobilization. Length of stay, readmissions and cardio-pulmonary complications within 30 days were compared. Total costs were collected for each patient and a cost-minimization analysis integrating ERAS-specific costs was performed. Results Both groups were similar in terms of demographics and surgical characteristics. The ERAS group had significantly shorter postoperative length of stay (median: 4 vs. 7 days, P<0.0001), decreased pulmonary complications (16% vs. 38%; P=0.01) and decreased overall post-operative complications (24% vs. 48%, P=0.03). One patient in each group was readmitted and there was no 30-day mortality. ERAS-specific costs were calculated at €729 per patient including the clinical nurse and database costs. Average total hospitalization costs were significantly lower in ERAS group (€15,945 vs. €20,360, P<0.0001), mainly due to lower costs during the post-operative period (€7,449 vs. €11,454, P<0.0001) in comparison with the intra-operative period (€8,496 vs. €8,906, P=0.303). Cost-minimization analysis showed a mean saving in the ERAS group of €3,686 per patient. Conclusions An ERAS program for VATS anatomical lung resection is cost-effective and is associated with a lower complication rate and a shorter postoperative hospitalization.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary anatomical segmentectomies are increasingly being done via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). We analyzed clinical outcomes and risk factors for post-operative complications after pulmonary segmentectomy by VATS was introduced in two institutions. Methods We retrospectively reviewed records of all patients who underwent anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy by VATS from 2014 to 2016 at the university hospitals of Geneva and Lausanne in Switzerland. Results One hundred twenty-nine patients (64 men; median age 68 years, range, 29-85 years) underwent anatomical VATS segmentectomy for primary lung tumors (n=100), metastases (n=16) and benign lesions (n=13). The overall 30-day mortality and morbidity rates were 0.8% and 31%, respectively. The reoperation rate was 4.7% [indications: hemothorax 2, prolonged air leak (PAL) 2, segmental torsion 1, empyema 1]. Chest drainage lasted for a median of 2 days (range, 1-33 days) and patients were discharged from the hospital after a median of 6 days (range, 2-37 days). Postoperative complications were mainly associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [odds ratio (OR) 2.54 and 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.18-5.47], and smoking pack-years >50 units (OR 5.27; 95% CI, 1.68-16.55). Nine patients (9%) presented with distant recurrences. Nodule size >2 cm was associated with decreased disease-free survival (DFS) (P=0.04). There was no association between surgical experience in VATS segmentectomy and DFS or postoperative complications. Conclusions Segmentectomies can be safely performed by VATS in an initial experience and result in favorable clinical outcome. COPD and smoking pack-years are associated with an increased risk of complications.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a frequently occurring disease, yet diagnosed at a local stage in only 40% of cases. Lung metastases (LM) appear in 5-15% of patients and, left untreated, carry a very poor prognosis. Some CRC patients may benefit from a potentially curative LM resection, but success and benefit are difficult to predict. We discuss prognostic factors of survival after lung metastasectomy in CRC patients under several scenarios (with/ without prior liver metastases; repetitive pulmonary resections). We reviewed all studies (2005-2015) about pulmonary metastases surgical management with curative intent in CRC patients, with a minimum threshold on the number of patients reported (without prior liver metastases: n ≥ 100; with prior resection of liver metastases: n ≥ 50; repetitive thoracic surgery: n ≥ 30). The picture of the prognostic factors of survival is nuanced: surgical management demonstrates clear successes and steady progress, yet there is no single success criterion; stratification of patients and selection bias impact the conclusions. Surgical management of liver and lung metastases may prolong life or cure CRC patients, provided the lesions are fully resected and patients carefully selected. Repeat lung metastasectomy is a safe approach to treat patients in selected cases. In conclusion, there is no standard for surgical management in CRC patients with pulmonary metastases. Patients with isolated unilateral lung metastasis with normal CEA level and no lymph node involvement benefit the most from surgery. Most series report good results in highly selected patients, but instances of long-term disease-free survival remain exceptional.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extrathoracic muscle flaps can be used as airway substitutes for the closure of complex bronchopleural or tracheoesophageal fistulas or in the context of tracheocarinal reconstructions after resection for centrally localized tumors in order to alleviate excess anastomotic tension. METHODS Evaluation of all patients undergoing tracheocarinal reconstructions with extrathoracic muscle flap patches as airway substitutes in our institution from 1996 to 2016. RESULTS A total of 73 patients underwent tracheocarinal reconstructions using extrathoracic muscle flap patches as airway substitutes for the closure of bronchopleural fistulas (n = 17) and complex tracheoesophageal fistulas (n = 7), or in the context of airway reconstructions after carinal resections in combination with pneumonectomy/sleeve lobectomy for centrally localized lung tumors (n = 36) and noncircumferential tracheal resections for tracheal disease processes (n = 14). The size of airway defects replaced by muscle patches ranged from 2 × 2 to 8 × 4 cm and was at most 40% of the airway circumference. The postoperative 90-day mortality was 8.2% and was only observed after right-sided pneumonectomy. Complications at the airway reconstruction site occurred in 8 patients (10%): 4 airway dehiscence (5%) with uneventful healing after reoperation (n = 2) or temporary stenting (n = 2) and 4 airway stenosis (5%) that required repeated bronchoscopy and stenting. Overall, 63 of 67 surviving patients (94%) revealed intact airways without further bronchoscopic interventions or tracheal appliance during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Extrathoracic muscle flaps used as airway substitutes are an interesting and sometimes life-saving option to close difficult tracheocarinal airway defects or to reduce anastomotic tension in the context of complex tracheocarinal surgeries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluation of complex, acquired, non-malignant tracheo/broncho-oesophageal fistulas (TEF) repaired by extrathoracic pedicled muscle flaps that were, in addition to their interposition between the airways and the gastro-intestinal tract, patched into gastro-intestinal or airway defects if primary closure seemed risky. METHODS A single institution experience of patients treated between 2003 and 2015. Twenty-two patients required TEF repair following oesophageal surgery (18), Boerhaave syndrome (1), chemotherapy for mediastinal lymphoma (1), carinal resection and irradiation (1) and laryngectomy (1); 64% of them underwent prior radio- or chemotherapy and 50% prior airway or oesophageal stenting. RESULTS Airway defects were closed by muscle flap patch ( n = 12), lobectomy ( n = 4), airway resection/anastomosis ( n = 2), pneumonectomy ( n = 1), segmentectomy ( n = 2) or primary suture ( n = 1). Gastro-intestinal defects were repaired by oesophageal diversion ( n = 9), muscle flap patch ( n = 8) or primary suture ( n = 5). A muscle flap patch was used to close airway and gastro-intestinal defects in 55% and 36% of cases, respectively. The 90-day postoperative mortality and TEF recurrence rates were 18% and 4.5%. Airway healing and breathing without tracheal appliance was obtained in 95% of patients and gastro-intestinal healing in 77% of those without oesophageal diversion. Five of nine patients with oesophageal diversion underwent intestinal restoration by retrosternal colon transplants. CONCLUSIONS Complex TEF arising after oesophageal surgery, radio-chemotherapy or failed stenting can be successfully closed using extrathoracic muscle flaps that can, in addition to their interposition between the airway and the gastro-intestinal tract, also be patched into gastro-oesophageal or airway defects if primary closure seems hazardous.

Abstract
In the reported scenario, the patient known for a history of operated Bochdalek hernia or congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) presented with new abdominal pain. The CT-scan suspected the presence of pancreas herniation through a recurrent CDH. Intraoperatively, the patient was found to have a recurrent CDH containing greater omentum concomitantly with a pulmonary sequestration (PS). This case report highlights the fact that intraoperative findings can be different from preoperative radiological diagnosis. In this patient the unusual diaphragmatic hernia content was not identified on preoperative CT.

Abstract
Extracorporeal assistances are exponentially used for patients, with acute severe but reversible heart or lung failure, to provide more prolonged support to bridge patients to heart and/or lung transplantation. However, experience of use of extracorporeal assistance for pulmonary resection is limited outside lung transplantation. Airways management with standard mechanical ventilation system may be challenging particularly in case of anatomical reasons (single lung), presence of respiratory failure (ARDS), or complex tracheo-bronchial resection and reconstruction. Based on the growing experience during lung transplantation, more and more surgeons are now using such devices to achieve good oxygenation and hemodynamic support during such challenging cases. We review the different extracorporeal device and attempt to clarify the current practice and indications of extracorporeal support during pulmonary resection.

Abstract
Background Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is currently performed to diagnose and treat solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN). However, the intra-operative identification of deep nodules can be challenging with VATS as the lung is difficult to palpate. The aim of the study was to report the utility and the results of pre-operative computed tomography (CT)-guided hook wire localization of SPN. Methods All records of the patients undergoing CT-guided hook wire localization prior to VATS resection for SPN between 2002 and 2013 were reviewed. The efficacy in localizing the nodule, hook wire complications, necessity to convert VATS to thoracotomy and the histology of SPN are reported. Results One hundred eighty-one patients (90 females, mean age 63 y, range 28–82 y) underwent 187 pulmonary resections after CT-guided hook wire localization. The mean SPN diameter was 10.3 mm (range: 4–29 mm). The mean distance of the lesion from the pleural surface was 11.6 mm (range: 0–45 mm). The mean time interval from hook wire insertion to VATS resection was 224 min (range 54–622 min). Hook wire complications included pneumothorax requiring chest tube drainage in 4 patients (2.1 %) and mild parenchymal haemorrhage in 11 (5.9 %) patients. Migration of the hook wire occured in 7 patients (3.7 %) although it did not affect the success of VATS resection (nodule location guided by the lung puncture site). Three patients underwent additional wedge resection by VATS during the same procedure because no lesion was identified in the surgical specimen. Conversion thoracotomy was required in 13 patients (7 %) for centrally localized lesions (6 patients) and pleural adhesions (7 patients). The mean operative time was 60 min (range 18–135 min). Pathological examination revealed a malignant lesion in 107 patients (59 %). The diagnostic yield was 98.3 %. Conclusion VATS resection for SPN after CT-guided hook wire localization for SPN is safe and allows for proper diagnosis with a low thoracotomy conversion rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-dose, Visudyne®-mediated photodynamic therapy (photo-induction) was shown to selectively enhance tumor vessel transport causing increased uptake of systemically administered chemotherapy in various tumor types grown on rodent lungs. The present experiments explore the efficacy of photo-induced vessel modulation combined to intravenous (IV) liposomal cisplatin (Lipoplatin®) on rodent lung tumors and the feasibility/toxicity of this approach in porcine chest cavities. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three groups of Fischer rats underwent orthotopic sarcoma (n = 14), mesothelioma (n = 14), or adenocarcinoma (n = 12) implantation on the left lung. Half of the animals of each group had photo-induction (0.0625 mg/kg Visudyne®, 10 J/cm(2) ) followed by IV administration of Lipoplatin® (5 mg/kg) and the other half received Lipoplatin® without photo-induction. Then, two groups of minipigs underwent intrapleural thoracoscopic (VATS) photo-induction (0.0625 mg/kg Visudyne®; 30 J/cm(2) hilum; 10 J/cm(2) apex/diaphragm) with in situ light dosimetry in combination with IV Lipoplatin® administration (5 mg/kg). Protocol I (n = 6) received Lipoplatin® immediately after light delivery and Protocol II (n = 9) 90 minutes before light delivery. Three additional animals received Lipoplatin® and VATS pleural biopsies but no photo-induction (controls). Lipoplatin® concentrations were analyzed in blood and tissues before and at regular intervals after photo-induction using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. RESULTS Photo-induction selectively increased Lipoplatin® uptake in all orthotopic tumors. It significantly increased the ratio of tumor to lung Lipoplatin® concentration in sarcoma (P = 0.0008) and adenocarcinoma (P = 0.01) but not in mesothelioma, compared to IV drug application alone. In minipigs, intrapleural photo-induction combined to systemic Lipoplatin® was well tolerated with no toxicity at 7 days for both treatment protocols. The pleural Lipoplatin® concentrations were not significantly different at 10 and 30 J/cm(2) locations but they were significantly higher in protocol I compared to II (2.37 ± 0.7 vs. 1.37 ± 0.7 ng/mg, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Visudyne®-mediated photo-induction selectively enhances the uptake of IV administered Lipoplatin® in rodent lung tumors. Intrapleural VATS photo-induction with identical treatment conditions combined to IV Lipoplatin chemotherapy is feasible and well tolerated in a porcine model. Lasers Surg.

Abstract
Most cases of emphysema are managed conservatively. However, in severe symptomatic emphysema associated with hyperinflation, lung volume reduction (LVR) may be proposed to improve dyspnea, exercice capacity, pulmonary functions, walk distance and to decrease long-term mortality. LVR may be achieved either surgically (LVRS) or endoscopically (EVLR by valves or coils) according to specific clinical criteria. Currently, the optimal approach is discussed in a multidisciplinary setting. The latter permits a personalized evaluation the patient's clinical status and allows the best possible therapeutic intervention to be proposed to the patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Solid tumors are known to have an abnormal vasculature that limits the distribution of chemotherapy. We have recently shown that tumor vessel modulation by low-dose photodynamic therapy (L-PDT) could improve the uptake of macromolecular chemotherapeutic agents such as liposomal doxorubicin (Liporubicin) administered subsequently. However, how this occurs is unknown. Convection, the main mechanism for drug transport between the intravascular and extravascular spaces, is mostly related to interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) and tumor blood flow (TBF). Here, we determined the changes of tumor and surrounding lung IFP and TBF before, during, and after vascular L-PDT. We also evaluated the effect of these changes on the distribution of Liporubicin administered intravenously (IV) in a lung sarcoma metastasis model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A syngeneic methylcholanthrene-induced sarcoma cell line was implanted subpleurally in the lung of Fischer rats. Tumor/surrounding lung IFP and TBF changes induced by L-PDT were determined using the wick-in-needle technique and laser Doppler flowmetry, respectively. The spatial distribution of Liporubicin in tumor and lung tissues following IV drug administration was then assessed in L-PDT-pretreated animals and controls (no L-PDT) by epifluorescence microscopy. RESULTS L-PDT significantly decreased tumor but not lung IFP compared to controls (no L-PDT) without affecting TBF. These conditions were associated with a significant improvement in Liporubicin distribution in tumor tissues compared to controls (P < .05). DISCUSSION L-PDT specifically enhanced convection in blood vessels of tumor but not of normal lung tissue, which was associated with a significant improvement of Liporubicin distribution in tumors compared to controls.

Abstract
Management of pectus excavatum Congenital chest wall deformities are considered to be anomalies in chest wall growth related to excessive or insufficient growth (aplasia or dysplasia) of the osseous or cartilaginous structures or the rib cage. These deformities are associated in 95% to overgrowth leading into depression (pectus excavatum) or protuberance of the sternum (pectus carinatum). Pectus excavatum may lead to cardiopulmonary disorder or impact on patient's self-esteem. The management of pectus excavatum has evolved this last decade with minimal invasive repair.
