Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative patients with lung cancer mostly experience different degrees of dyspnea and decreased activity tolerance, and these symptoms all significantly affect postoperative quality of life. The concept of pulmonary rehabilitation applicable to patients with chronic respiratory diseases is also applicable to patients with postoperative lung cancer. The current application of postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation for lung cancer is inconsistent, and reliable guidelines are lacking. The purpose of this study was to further verify the efficacy and feasibility of postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation for lung cancer patients, and to find a suitable local pulmonary rehabilitation program for postoperative patients with lung cancer that is clinically promoted in our department through this study. METHODS We collected the clinical data of patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) wedge resection or lobectomy. The patients were divided into rehabilitation group (using three-ball breathing apparatus after discharge) and control group (routine follow-up after discharge) according to whether the patients were trained with three-ball breathing apparatus after operation. The detailed method using three-ball apparatus is as follows. To begin with, patients are required to put themselves in a comfortable position. Then, after the three-ball breathing apparatus put on the same plane of their eyes, patients hold the tube in their mouth closely and control their breath slowly. When patients inhale to their largest extent, the balls will rise up accordingly. Then they exhale. The evaluation results of pulmonary function, activity tolerance, anxiety scores and others were collected. All data was gathered at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. The effects of pulmonary rehabilitation training on wedge resection and lobectomy were compared. RESULTS A total of 210 patients were included in this study, including 126 patients with VATS wedge resection and 84 patients with VATS lobectomies. No discrepancy was noticed when FEV1 loss between two groups were compared in the wedge resection patients, and the same results were also shown in patients undergoing lobectomy (12.8% ± 2.0% vs. 12.7% ± 1.9%, P = 0.84, wedge resection; 12.6% ± 2.9% vs. 12.1% ± 1.8%, P = 0.37, lobectomy). The loss of FVC in the control group was greater than that in the rehabilitation group for patients undergoing lobectomy (11.7% ± 5.2%, vs. 17.1% ± 5.6%, P < 0.001, lobectomy). No difference was found in the wedge resection patients between the control and rehabilitation groups (6.6% ± 2.8%, vs. 6.4% ± 3.2%, P = 0.76, lobectomy). Moreover, all patients showed no significant difference in 6MWD regardless of surgical procedure and with or without breathing exercises at T3 (392.6 ± 50.6 m, rehabilitation group vs. 394.0 ± 46.6 m, control group. P = 0.87, wedge resection; 381.3 ± 38.9 m, rehabilitation group vs. 369.1 ± 49.3 m, control group. P = 0.21, lobectomy). CONCLUSIONS For patients after thoracoscopic pulmonary wedge resection, the use of three-ball apparatus did not significantly improve postoperative pulmonary function and activity tolerance, dyspnea, and anxiety symptoms. In patients after thoracoscopic lobectomy, respiratory trainers were able to improve postoperative lung function but were unable to significantly improve dyspnea and anxiety symptoms. There was a significant benefit for the use of three-ball apparatus in patients after thoracoscopic lobectomy, whereas there was no significant benefit for the use of respiratory trainers after wedge resection.

The risk of post-operative pulmonary complications in lung resection candidates with normal forced expiratory volume in 1 s and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide: a prospective multicentre study. ERJ Open Res 2023; 9:00421-2022. [PMID: 36891072 PMCID: PMC9986753 DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00421-2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction According to the guidelines for preoperative assessment of lung resection candidates, patients with normal forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D LCO) are at low risk for post-operative pulmonary complications (PPC). However, PPC affect hospital length of stay and related healthcare costs. We aimed to assess risk of PPC for lung resection candidates with normal FEV1 and D LCO (>80% predicted) and identify factors associated with PPC. Methods 398 patients were prospectively studied at two centres between 2017 and 2021. PPC were recorded from the first 30 post-operative days. Subgroups of patients with and without PPC were compared and factors with significant difference were analysed by uni- and multivariate logistic regression. Results 188 subjects had normal FEV1 and D LCO. Of these, 17 patients (9%) developed PPC. Patients with PPC had significantly lower pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (P ETCO2 ) at rest (27.7 versus 29.9; p=0.033) and higher ventilatory efficiency (V'E/V'CO2 ) slope (31.1 versus 28; p=0.016) compared to those without PPC. Multivariate models showed association between resting P ETCO2 (OR 0.872; p=0.035) and V'E/V'CO2 slope (OR 1.116; p=0.03) and PPC. In both models, thoracotomy was strongly associated with PPC (OR 6.419; p=0.005 and OR 5.884; p=0.007, respectively). Peak oxygen consumption failed to predict PPC (p=0.917). Conclusions Resting P ETCO2 adds incremental information for risk prediction of PPC in patients with normal FEV1 and D LCO. We propose resting P ETCO2 be an additional parameter to FEV1 and D LCO for preoperative risk stratification.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In the treatment of peripheral early-staged lung cancer and benign lesions, segmentectomy and wedge resection are both reliable treatment methods. It is debatable that how much pulmonary function will be lost after different sublobar resection in the treatment of early-staged deep-located peripheral NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer). The purpose of this study was to explore postoperative pulmonary function changes of sublobar resection in enrolled patients with non-subpleural peripheral nodules.
Methods
We collected clinical data of patients undergoing VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) segmentectomy or wedge resection for single nodule. These nodules were confirmed as peripheral non-subpleural nodules by preoperative 3D imaging. Patients were divided into two groups according to the operation procedure. Demographic characteristics, pulmonary function, postoperative outcomes, and others were collected. All data was gathered at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. Outcomes after wedge resection were compared with those after segmentectomy resection.
Results
A total of 88 patients were included in this study, including 46 patients with VATS wedge resection and 42 patients with VATS segmentectomy. No difference was detected when comparing FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 s) loss between these two groups (17.6 ± 2.1%, wedge resection vs. 19.4 ± 5.4%, segmentectomy, P = 0.176). FVC (forced vital capacity) loss (8.7 ± 2.3%, wedge resection vs. 17.1 ± 2.2%, segmentectomy, P < 0.001) and MVV (maximum ventilatory volume) loss (11.5 ± 3.1%, wedge resection vs. 20.6 ± 7.8%, segmentectomy, P < 0.001) in segmentectomy group was significantly higher than those in wedge resection group. Discrepancies were investigated when comparing duration of surgery (70 ± 22 min, wedge resection vs. 111 ± 52 min, segmentectomy, P = 0.0002), postoperative drainage (85 ± 45 mL, wedge resection vs. 287 ± 672 mL, segmentectomy, P = 0.0123), and treatment hospitalization expenses [35148 ± 889CNY, wedge resection vs. 52,502 (38,276–57,772) CNY, segmentectomy, P < 0.0002]. No significant difference was found between air leak time (1.7 ± 0.7 days, wedge resection vs. 2.5 ± 1.7 days, segmentectomy, P = 0.062) and hospitalization time (2.7 ± 0.7 days, wedge resection vs. 3.5 ± 1.7 days, segmentectomy, P = 0.051).
Conclusions
For patients with peripheral non-subpleural nodules, we observed that patients who underwent wedge resection had less lung function loss than those who underwent segmentectomy when their lung function was reviewed at the 6th month after surgery. Patients undergoing wedge resection had partial advantages over patients with segmental resection in terms of hospitalization cost, operation time and postoperative drainage, etc. Wedge resection, as a treatment for peripheral non-subpleural pulmonary nodules, seemed to have more advantages in preserving patients’ pulmonary function.

Abstract
Lung cancer is an increasing problem in the developing world due to rising trends in smoking, high incidence of air pollution, lack of awareness and screening, delayed presentation, and diagnosis at the advanced stage. Even after diagnosis, there are disparities in access to health care facilities and inequitable distribution of resources and treatment options. In addition, the shortage of trained personnel and infrastructure adds to the challenges faced by patients with lung cancer in these regions. A multi-pronged effort targeting tobacco cessation, health promotion and awareness, capacity building, and value-based care are the need of the hour.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study makes a comparison between stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients subjected to either robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or open thoracotomy, with the aim to evaluate differences between these three approaches in terms of oncological outcomes. METHOD We reviewed data from 1367 consecutive patients who, between 2011 and 2017, underwent lobectomy for NSCLC with either open surgery, VATS or RATS, and performed a matched case-control study based on patients' age, gender, clinical stage (IA, IB) and ASA score. RESULTS 180 patients (n = 72 RATS, n = 36 VATS, n = 72 open) were analyzed. Complication rates were found to be comparable (72.2% open, 86.1% VATS, 81.9% RATS), with similar grades of severity. The median number of resected lymph nodes was higher in open surgery (n = 22) than in VATS (n = 15; p = 0.0001) and in RATS (n = 17; p = 0.004). Pathological N2 upstaging was higher in open surgery (9.7%) compared to VATS (5.6%) and RATS (5.6%). However, the recurrence rate in VATS was significantly higher than in RATS (log rank p = 0.03). No statistically significant differences were detected in 5-year OS and cancer-specific survival. CONCLUSIONS no differences were found in OS and cancer-specific survival between VATS, RATS and open lobectomy for stage I NSCLC patients; even if in VATS, the incidence of recurrences, in particular local recurrences, was higher than in RATS and in open surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anesthetic care in patients undergoing thoracic surgery presents specific challenges that necessitate standardized, multidisciplionary, and continuously updated guidelines for perioperative care. METHODS A multidisciplinary expert group, the Perioperative Anesthesia in Thoracic Surgery (PACTS) group, comprising 24 members from 19 Italian centers, was established to develop recommendations for anesthesia practice in patients undergoing thoracic surgery (specifically lung resection for cancer). The project focused on preoperative patient assessment and preparation, intraoperative management (surgical and anesthesiologic care), and postoperative care and discharge. A series of clinical questions was developed, and PubMed and Embase literature searches were performed to inform discussions around these areas, leading to the development of 69 recommendations. The quality of evidence and strength of recommendations were graded using the United States Preventative Services Task Force criteria. RESULTS Recommendations for preoperative care focus on risk assessment, patient preparation (prehabilitation), and the choice of procedure (open thoracotomy vs. video-assisted thoracic surgery). CONCLUSIONS These recommendations should help pulmonologists to improve preoperative management in thoracic surgery patients. Further refinement of the recommendations can be anticipated as the literature continues to evolve.

Abstract
Advances in perioperative assessment and diagnostics, together with developments in anesthetic and surgical techniques, have considerably expanded the pool of patients who may be suitable for pulmonary resection. Thoracic surgical patients frequently are perceived to be at high perioperative risk due to advanced age, level of comorbidity, and the risks associated with pulmonary resection, which predispose them to a significantly increased risk of perioperative complications, increased healthcare resource use, and costs. The definition of what is considered "fit for surgery" in thoracic surgery continually is being challenged. However, no internationally standardized definition of prohibitive risk exists. Perioperative assessment traditionally concentrates on the "three-legged stool" of pulmonary mechanical function, parenchymal function, and cardiopulmonary reserve. However, no single criterion should exclude a patient from surgery, and there are other perioperative factors in addition to the tripartite assessment that need to be considered in order to more accurately assess functional capacity and predict individual perioperative risk. In this review, the authors aim to address some of the more erudite concepts that are important in preoperative risk assessment of the patient at potentially prohibitive risk undergoing pulmonary resection for malignancy.

Abstract
Background The objective of this retrospective study is to evaluate the impact of the CCI on short-term outcomes in pulmonary resection. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 1,309 patients who underwent pulmonary surgery consecutively in our hospital. Results All patients were divided into complication group and non-complication group. CCI (P=0.012), blood loss (P=0.015) and type of surgery (P<0.001) were an independent risk factors for complications in multivariate analysis. Assuming a threshold of 3 for defining poor outcomes for pulmonary resection, the sensitivity and specificity were 87.9% and 44.2%, respectively. The area under the curve for CCI was 0.711 (P<0.001). There were 918 (70.1%) patients in the CCI ≤3 group and 391 (29.9%) patients in the CCI ≤3 group. The rate of poor outcome was 3.3% in the CCI ≤3 group, and 9.2% in the CCI >3 group (P<0.001). Conclusions The main finding of the present study was that CCI >3 was associated with a poor short-term outcome. For patients with CCI >3, it was suggested that the experienced surgical team should perform pulmonary resection in the shortest time and preserving the lung function as much as possible.

Abstract
Objective To compare the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and alteration of heart rate variability (HRV) after pulmonary lobectomy through video assisted thoracic surgery or thoracotomy, and to explore the role of autonomic nerves in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation after pulmonary lobectomy. Methods In a single institution, 224 patients (age > 60) with normal sinus rhythm were enrolled in the study. Experienced surgeons and anesthetists carried out operation and anesthesia according to the same procedure. The hearts were monitored using Holter for more than 96 h. Any new-onset AF was recorded and HRV was analyzed at different time intervals. Results One hundred twelve patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and 112 patients undergoing thoracotomy (THOR) were matched for age and gender. Atrial fibrillation occurred in 39 patients, with a similar incidence between the two groups (VATS: 19/112, 16.9% and THOR: 20/112, 17.9%, P = 0.82). The post-operational heart variability at different time intervals was comparable between the two groups. Conclusion Pulmonary lobectomy through video assisted thoracic surgery does not reduce the postoperative atrial fibrillation. Autonomic nerve mechanism may be involved in the pathogenesis of postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
As the computer processing technique and display technology evolved dramatically, the surgical approach to early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has made a rapid progress within the past few years. Currently, the gold standard for NSCLC is lobectomy. After the introduction of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), lung resection can now be conducted mini-invasively, enabling better prognosis for patients and better operation condition for surgeons. At the very beginning, the conventional two-dimensional (2D) system enabled operators to have a closer, magnified and illuminated view inside the body cavity than open thoracotomy. With the introduction of the glasses-assisted three-dimensional (3D) and glasses-free 3D display system, multiple viewing angles were further enhanced, thus a more stable, easier to master and less invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) appeared. However, given that the standard VATS is associated with limited maneuverability and stereoscopy, it restricts the availability in more advanced cases. Hopefully, most of the limitations of standard VATS can be overcome with the robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). The RATS system consists of a remote console and a robotic unit with 3 or 4 arms that can duplicate surgeons’ movements. Also, it provides a magnified, 3D and high definition (HD) operation field to surgeons, allowing them to perform more complicated procedures. Apart from these, some new technologies are also invented in combination with the existing surgery system to solve difficult problems. It is hoped that the higher costs of innovative surgical technique can be offset by the better patient outcomes and improved benefits in cost-effectiveness.

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.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary function following lung wedge resection is not fully understood. This study aimed to assess the influence of wedge resection upon postoperative pulmonary function. Methods We retrospectively evaluated pulmonary function at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively in 29 patients who underwent lung wedge resection. The values of the pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were compared among the time points using a paired t-test. Results The vital capacity (VC) values before surgery and at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively were 2,994±793, 2,845±799, 2,941±801, and 2,964±839 mL, respectively. The VC decreased at 3 months postoperatively (P=0.002) and recovered by 6 and 12 months postoperatively (P=0.003 and 0.003, respectively). The VC values at 6 and 12 months postoperatively did not significantly differ from that before surgery (P=0.152 and 0.361, respectively). The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) values before surgery and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively were 2,156±661, 2,034±660, 2,091±672 and 2,100±666 mL, respectively. The values decreased at 3 months postoperatively (P<0.001) and recovered; however, they remained lower than the preoperative value (P=0.036). Conclusions The postoperative VC decreased temporarily but recovered to near the preoperative level after 12 months. We concluded that the loss of VC following lung wedge resection is minimal. These findings are beneficial for planning surgery and explaining the procedure to patients who are undergoing lung wedge resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pathological tumour, node and metastasis (TNM) stage remains the most significant prognostic factor of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Meanwhile, age, gender, pulmonary function tests, the extent of surgical resection and the presence of concomitant diseases are commonly used to complete the prognostic profile of the patient with early stage of NSCLC. The aim of this study is to assess how the result of a 6-min walk test (6MWT) further assists in predicting the prognosis of NSCLC surgical candidates. METHODS Six hundred and twenty-four patients who underwent surgical treatment for NSCLC between April 2009 and October 2011 were enrolled in this study. All patients were accepted for surgery on the basis of a standard evaluation protocol. Additionally, patients completed the 6MWT on the day before the surgery, and threshold values of the test were assessed based on both the Akaike information criterion and the coefficient of determination R2. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to analyse the effect of important prognostic factors on the overall survival. RESULTS Three hundred and ninety men and 234 women with a mean age of 64 years underwent radical surgical treatment for primary lung cancer. Five hundred and twenty-five lobectomies (84%), 77 pneumonectomies (12%) and 24 (4%) lesser resections were performed. Three hundred and thirty-one patients (53%) were treated for stage I NSCLC, 191 patients (31%) for stage II and 102 patients (16%) for stages IIIA-IV. A distance of 525 m in the 6MWT [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41-0.78, P < 0.001] was the threshold value differentiating the patients' prognoses (P < 0.001). Using the Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, pathological TNM stage (IIA: HR = 1.87, 95% CI 1.95-2.92, P = 0.006; IIB: HR = 2.03, 95% CI 1.23-3.37, P = 0.006; IIIA-IV: HR = 2.37, 95% CI 1.49-3.75, P < 0.001), male gender (HR = 1.88, 95% CI 1.26-2.79, P = 0.001), pneumonectomy (HR = 1.78, 95% CI 1.17-2.70, P < 0.001) and the results of the 6MWT (HR = 0.50, 95% CI 0.36-0.70, P < 0.001) were considered as independent predictive factors of overall survival. CONCLUSIONS The result of a 6MWT is an independent and convenient prognostic factor of surgically treated non-small-cell lung cancer.

Thoracotomy and VATS Surgery in Local Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Differences in Long-Term Health-Related Quality Of Life. Clin Lung Cancer 2019; 20:378-383.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a result of routine low-dose computed tomographic screening, lung cancer is more frequently diagnosed at earlier, operable stages of disease. In treating local non-small-cell lung cancer, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), a minimally invasive surgical approach, has replaced thoracotomy as the standard of care. While short-term quality-of-life outcomes favor the use of VATS, the impact of VATS on long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied patients who underwent lobectomy for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer from January 2006 to January 2013 at a single institution (n = 456). Patients who underwent segmentectomy (n = 27), who received neoadjuvant therapy (n = 13), or who were found to have clinical stage > T2 or > N0 disease (n = 45) were excluded from analysis. At time of HRQoL assessment, 199 patients were eligible for study and were mailed the generic HRQoL instrument 15D. RESULTS A total of 180 patients (90.5%) replied; 92 respondents underwent VATS while 88 underwent open thoracotomy. The VATS group more often had adenocarcinoma (P = .006), and lymph node stations were sampled to a lesser extent (P = .004); additionally, hospital length of stay was shorter among patients undergoing VATS (P = .001). No other clinical or pathologic differences were observed between the 2 groups. Surprisingly, patients who underwent VATS scored significantly lower on HRQoL on the dimensions of breathing, speaking, usual activities, mental function, and vitality, and they reported a lower total 15D score, which reflects overall quality of life (P < .05). CONCLUSION In contrast to earlier short-term reports, long-term quality-of-life measures are worse among patients who underwent VATS compared to thoracotomy.

Abstract
Background Patients with limited pulmonary function have a high risk for pulmonary complications following lobectomy. Robotic approach is currently the least invasive approach. We hypothesized that robotic lobectomy may be of particular benefit in high-risk patients. Methods We reviewed our institutional Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) data on lobectomy patients from 2012 to 2017. Postoperative outcomes were compared between robotic and open lobectomy groups. High-risk patients were identified by pulmonary function test. Risk of pulmonary complication was assessed by binary logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 599 patients underwent lobectomy by robotic (n = 287), or by open (n = 312) approach, including 189 high-risk patients. Robotic lobectomy patients had a lower rate of prolonged air leak (6% vs. 10%, p = 0.047), less atelectasis requiring bronchoscopy (6% vs. 16%, p = 0.02), pneumonia (3% vs. 8%, p = 0.01), and shorter length of stay (4 vs. 6 days, p = 0.001). Overall pulmonary complication rate was significantly lower after robotic lobectomy in high-risk patients (28% vs. 45%, p = 0.02), less in intermediate or low risk patients. No significant difference was seen relative to major complication rate (12% vs. 17%, p = 0.09). After multivariate analysis, when adjusting for age, gender, smoking history, FEV1, DLCO, cardiopulmonary comorbidities, and prior chest surgery, the robotic approach remained independently associated with decreased pulmonary complications (odds ratio 0.54, 95% confidence interval [0.34–0.85], p = 0.008). Conclusions Robotic lobectomy has the potential to decrease the risk of postoperative pulmonary complication as compared with traditional open thoracotomy. In particular, patients with limited pulmonary function derive the most benefit from a robotic approach.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer share a common etiological factor (cigarette smoking) and usually coexist in everyday clinical practice. The prevalence of COPD among newly diagnosed patients with lung cancer sometimes exceeds 50%. COPD is an independent risk factor (2-4 times higher than non-COPD subjects) for lung cancer development. The presence of emphysema in addition to other factors (e.g., smoking history, age) could be incorporated into risk scores in order to define the most appropriate target group for lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography. Clinical management of patients with coexistence of COPD and lung cancer requires a multidisciplinary oncology board that includes a pulmonologist. Detailed evaluation (lung function tests, cardiopulmonary exercise test) and management (inhaled drugs, smoking cessation, pulmonary rehabilitation) of COPD should be taken into account for lung cancer treatment (surgical approach, radiotherapy).

Abstract
Over the last two decades, conventional video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has established itself as the preferred approach for almost all thoracic surgical procedures. The procedure provides a safe and easy approach with undisputed patient benefit at a cost acceptable to the healthcare system all over the world, in large hospitals as well as underprivileged rural areas. VATS has effectively addressed the patients' right to less scarring, trauma (both of access and intrathoracic manipulation), medication, pain, hospitalization, and early return home and work. These improvements have been further stressed by the introduction of uniportal VATS (uniVATS). Single port surgery is a very exciting new modality in the field of minimal access surgery which aims at further reducing scars of standard vats and towards an hypothetical prospective of scarless surgery.

High Risk for Thoracotomy but not Thoracoscopic Lobectomy. Ann Thorac Surg 2017; 103:1730-1735. [PMID: 28262299 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2016.11.076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2016] [Revised: 09/21/2016] [Accepted: 11/28/2016] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary lobectomy is the standard of care for resection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with compromised lung function who are considered high risk may be denied surgical treatment; thus, proper identification of those truly at high risk is critical. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) may reduce the operative risk. This study reviews our institutional experience of pulmonary lobectomy by open thoracotomy or VATS techniques in patients deemed to be high risk. METHODS A retrospective review of an institutional database was performed for all patients undergoing lobectomy from 2002 to 2010. Patients were grouped into high-risk (HR) and standard-risk (SR) cohorts according to the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z4099/Radiation Therapy Oncology Group 1021 criteria. RESULTS From 2002 to 2010, 72 HR and 536 SR patients underwent lobectomy. Mean age was 73 years for HR and 66 years for SR (p < 0.0001). Rates of overall (p < 0.0001) and pulmonary complications (p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in the HR group. However, when HR patients were resected by VATS, there was no significant difference in overall (p = 0.1299) or pulmonary complications (p = 0.2292) compared with the SR VATS group. Moreover, overall survival was significantly lower for HR patients who had an open operation compared with VATS lobectomy or SR open (p = 0.0028). CONCLUSIONS VATS lobectomy offers patients who are considered to be at increased risk for open lobectomy a feasible procedure, with no difference in overall survival compared with SR patients, and decreased morbidity compared with open lobectomy. VATS lobectomy should be considered for patients who historically may not have been considered for surgical resection.

First Italian Consensus Conference on VATS lobectomy for NSCLC. TUMORI JOURNAL 2016; 103:124-135. [PMID: 28009427 DOI: 10.5301/tj.5000578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/07/2016] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has become an accepted procedure for the treatment of selected cases of lung cancer. The aim of this project was to establish national practical recommendations for the management of patients suitable for VATS lobectomy. METHODS The Scientific Committee of the VATS Lobectomy Group (a branch of the Italian Society of Thoracic Surgery) identified the consensus conference as an appropriate tool for a national debate. The consensus conference was organized following indications of the Italian Department of Health: a panel of experts reviewed the literature, the jury board revised the experts' reports, and the national conference discussed and voted on statements. The strength of recommendation for a statement was classified as weak, fair, or high when the total score ranged between 51% and 67%, 68% and 84%, or 85% and 100%, respectively. RESULTS Eighty-six Italian thoracic surgeons attended the 1st Italian Consensus Conference on VATS lobectomy in Giulianova, Italy, on October 29-30, 2015. Thirty-three topics were discussed: indications, surgical strategy, perioperative management, and training were the main topics. Consensus was reached on 24 statements that were consequently recommended. CONCLUSIONS The Italian Consensus Conference is the first attempt to discuss VATS lobectomy-related issues in a national scientific community. Such experience determined an improvement in epistemic knowledge among the Italian thoracic surgeons and could be a suggestion for other national communities.

Abstract
Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) for treatment of lung cancer is being increasingly applied worldwide in the last few years. Since its introduction, many publications have been providing strong evidences that this minimally invasive approach is feasible, safe and oncologically efficient; offering to patients several advantages over traditional open thoracotomy, particularly for early-stage disease (I and II). The application of VATS for locally advanced disease treatment has also been largely described, but probably requires a further level of experience, which is more likely to be found in reference centers, with skilled experts. Although a large multi-institutional prospective randomized-controlled trial is the best way to confirm the superiority of one technique over another, such study comparing VATS versus open lobectomy for lung cancer is unlikely to ever come out. And in this scenario, retrospective data remains as the most reliable source of scientific information. Based on a literature review, the main objective of this article is to discuss to what extent VATS lobectomy can be considered the gold standard in the surgical treatment of lung cancer, taking into account the most important comparison aspects between the minimally invasive approach and open thoracotomy technique. This review addresses questions regarding lymph node dissection, oncologic efficacy, extended resections beyond standard lobectomy, post-operative complications/pain/quality of life, survival rates and the present limits of indication (and contraindication) for VATS, in order to define the real role of this technique on the surgical treatment of lung cancer in a minimally invasive, but safe and effective manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired respiratory function may prevent curative surgery for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) reduces postoperative morbility-mortality and could change preoperative assessment practices and therapeutic decisions. We evaluated the relation between preoperative pulmonary function tests and the occurrence of postoperative complications after VATS pulmonary resection in patients with abnormal pulmonary function. METHODS We included 106 consecutive patients with ≤80% predicted value of presurgical expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and/or diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) and who underwent VATS pulmonary resection for NSCLC from a prospective surgical database. RESULTS Patients (64±9.5 years) had lobectomy (n=91), segmentectomy (n=7), bilobectomy (n=4), or pneumonectomy (n=4). FEV1 and DLCO preoperative averages were 68%±21% and 60%±18%. Operative mortality was 1.89%. Only FEV1 was predictive of postoperative complications [odds ratio (OR), 0.96; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.926-0.991, P=0.016], but there was no determinable threshold. Twenty-five patients underwent incremental exercise testing. Desaturations during exercise (OR, 0.462; 95% CI, 0.191-0.878, P=0.039) and heart rate (HR) response (OR, 0.953; 95% CI, 0.895-0.993, P=0.05) were associated with postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS FEV1 but not DLCO was a significant predictor of pulmonary complications after VATS pulmonary resection despite a low rate of severe morbidity. Incremental exercise testing seems more discriminating. Further investigation is required in a larger patient population to change current pre-operative threshold in a new era of minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract
Background Sarcoidosis is a rare condition that is often misdiagnosed as malignant tumors due to the similar clinical manifestations and imaging findings. Case Presentation We encountered a 56-year-old Chinese woman who had a chief complaint of a persistent cough. The chest computer tomography (CT) revealed mediastinal and bilateral hilar lymph node enlargement, and positron emission tomography-computer tomography (PET-CT) revealed abnormal fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the lymph nodes of the chest and abdomen. To further clarify the diagnosis, a lymph node sampling was performed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and the histopathologic diagnosis of sarcoidosis was confirmed. Conclusions VATS could be an effective and minimally invasive diagnostic method to discriminate pulmonary sarcoidosis with other malignant tumors.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore whether video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has short or long-term benefits in elderly patients with non-small-cell lung cancer compared with open surgery. Between June 2007 and December 2014, 579 patients older than 70 years underwent radical pulmonary resection for non-small-cell lung cancer, including 138 who received VATS and 441 who received open surgery. A retrospective pair-matched study was performed to compare 194 patients (97 pairs) who underwent either VATS or open resection. Patients were matched by age, sex, comorbidity, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, tumor location, clinical TNM stage, and extent of pulmonary resection. Short and long-term outcomes were compared between the two groups. The overall incidence of postoperative 30-day complications was significantly lower in the VATS group than in the open surgery group. The major postoperative 30-day complication trended lower in the VATS group but was not significantly different. The length of postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival was similar between the two groups. In summary, in surgical management of elderly patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, VATS is associated with lower rates of morbidity as well as comparable disease-free survival and overall survival outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is widely performed in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. However, it is unknown whether VATS sublobar resection has advantages compared with VATS lobectomy in preserving pulmonary function. METHODS Three hundred patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent VATS were enrolled. Pulmonary function tests were performed three times: preoperatively, and at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Pulmonary function was compared between the VATS lobectomy group (n = 227) and the VATS sublobar resection group (n = 73). RESULTS The VATS sublobar resection group had greater preserved pulmonary function than the VATS lobectomy group at 3 and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.001). However, a VATS lobectomy of the right upper or right middle lobe revealed no difference in forced vital capacity (-1.21% versus -1.45%; p = 0.88) or the diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (-3.99% versus -2.45%; p = 0.61) compared with VATS sublobar resection after 12 months. In those who underwent VATS of the right lower lobe, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (-8.60% versus -3.69%; p = 0.12) was not different between the two groups after 12 months. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy of the left upper or left lower lobe resulted in lower pulmonary function than VATS sublobar resection (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent VATS sublobar resection demonstrated greater pulmonary function than those who underwent VATS lobectomy. However, in right-side VATS lobectomy, some differences dissipated at 1 year.
