Qiu B, Han J, Zhao J. Effect of thoracoscopic and thoracotomy on postoperative wound complications in patients with lung cancer: A meta-analysis. Int Wound J 2023; 20:4217-4226. [PMID: 37596788 PMCID: PMC10681477 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Because of the difficult surgical procedures, patients with lung cancer who have received thoracic surgery tend to have postoperative complications. It may lead to postoperative complications like wound infection, wound haematoma and pneumothorax. A lot of research has assessed the effect of various surgery methods on postoperative complications in pulmonary cancer. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to establish if thoracoscopic is superior to that of thoracotomy in the rate of post-operative complications. From the beginning to the end of June 2023, we performed an exhaustive search on four main databases for key words. The Hazard of Bias in Non-Randomized Interventional Studies (ROBINS-I) was evaluated in the literature. In the end, 13 trials that fulfilled the eligibility criteria underwent further statistical analyses. The results showed that thoracoscopic intervention decreased the risk of post operative wound infection (dominant ratio [OR], 3.00; 95% confidence margin [CI], 1.98, 4.55; p < 0.00001) and air-leakage after operation (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.04, 1.63; p = 0.02). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the rate of haemorrhage after operation (OR, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.73, 1.66; p = 0.63). Our findings indicate that thoracoscopic is less likely to cause post operative infection and gas leakage than thoracotomy, and it does not decrease the risk of postoperative haemorrhage. As some of the chosen trials are too small to conduct meta-analyses, care must be taken when handling the data. In the future, a large number of randomized, controlled trials will be required to provide additional evidence for this research.

Abstract
Background Postoperative pulmonary complications correlate highly with thoracic surgery compared to other surgeries. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical approach that provides considerable advantages over major open thoracotomy. Methodology This is a retrospective cohort study. All patients aged 18 years and above of both genders were included in the study. Cases following up outside King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, were excluded from our study. Complications were measured per the records on follow-up day 1, day 7, and day 30. Mortality was measured within 30 days after the surgery. Results A total of 151 patients were included in the study. Age ranged from 18 to 85 years, with males representing 62.3% of the sample, while Saudis represented 59.6%. VATS was performed in 71.5%, while thoracotomy was performed in 28.5%. Of the total, 19.4% had postoperative complications within 30 days in the VATS group, while 23.3% were in the thoracotomy group. No significant differences were found between the rates of complications between the two groups. Additionally, the admission rate to ICU was significantly twice as common in the thoracotomy group (65.1%) compared to the VATS group (33.3%). Besides, the average duration of the chest tube's stay was three to seven days in both groups (62.1% in the VATS group and 70.7% in the thoracotomy group). Lastly, regarding the requirements of opioids, VATS showed more need for opioids (44.4%) compared to thoracotomy (32.6%). Conclusion The rates of postoperative complications were low in both groups, and no significant differences were found between the two procedures. In addition, the VATS group showed significantly higher use of opioids compared to the thoracotomy group. We recommend conducting further studies with larger sample sizes to increase the statistical power of detection.

Abstract
Background The safety, feasibility, and prognosis of sleeve lobectomy by minimally invasive surgery (MIS) remain to be validated. The purpose of this study was to investigate outcomes in real-world patients receiving minimally invasive sleeve lobectomy in a balanced large cohort. Methods Between January 2013 and December 2018, 578 consecutive patients undergoing sleeve resection at a high-volume center were retrospectively analyzed. Surgical and oncologic outcomes were compared between MIS and thoracotomy patients after propensity-score matching (PSM). Results MIS sleeve lobectomy was increasingly used as a time-trend in real-world. Before PSM, the MIS group had smaller tumor size, more T2-stage cases, and more right upper lobe sleeve lobectomies compared to the Open group. After 1:4 PSM by patient demographics and tumoral characteristics, 100 cases of MIS and 338 cases of Open sleeve lobectomy were further analyzed. Although median operation time was longer in the MIS group than in the Open group (170.5 minutes vs.149.5 minutes, P < 0.001), patients in MIS group had significantly less estimated intraoperative blood loss (100 ml vs. 200 ml, P = 0.003), shorter drainage duration (5 days vs. 6 days, P = 0.027) and less amount of drainage (1280 ml vs. 1640 ml, P < 0.001) after surgery. Complete resection rate, combined angioplasty, number of dissected lymph nodes, post-operative length of stay, postoperative morbidity and mortality rate, and application of adjuvant therapy were similar between the two matched groups. Conversion to open thoracotomy was necessary in 13.6% patients, but with similar perioperative outcomes compared to Open cases except for longer operation time. More lower lobe sleeve lobectomies were accomplished via robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery than via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (40.0% vs. 12.0%, P = 0.017) in MIS patients. Five-year overall survivals (MIS vs. Open: 72.7% vs. 64.4%, P = 0.156) and five-year progression-free survivals (MIS vs. Open: 49.2% vs. 50.5%, P = 0.605) were similar between the two matched groups. Conclusions MIS sleeve lobectomy is associated with similar or even better perioperative results and oncologic outcomes to open thoracotomy. Conversion to thoracotomy does not compromise perioperative outcomes. Robot surgery may be preferable for more complex sleeve resections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung sleeve resection is indicated for centrally located lung tumors, especially for patients who cannot tolerate pneumonectomy. With video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) being increasingly implemented for a wide variety of thoracic pathologies, this study aims to compare the intraoperative, postoperative, and long-term outcomes of VATS and open bronchial sleeve lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS The MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases were searched. Original clinical studies, comparing VATS and open sleeve lobectomy for NSCLC were included. Evidence was synthesized as odds ratios for categorical and weighted mean difference (WMD) for continuous variables. RESULTS Our analysis included six studies with non-overlapping populations reporting on 655 patients undergoing bronchial sleeve lobectomy for NSCLC (229 VATS and 426 open). VATS sleeve lobectomy was associated with significantly longer operative time ((WMD): 45.85 min, 95% confidence interval (CI): 12.06 to 79.65, p = 0.01) but less intraoperative blood loss ((WMD): -34.57 mL, 95%CI: -58.35 to -10.78, p < 0.001). No significant difference was found between VATS and open bronchial sleeve lobectomy in margin-negative resection rate, number of lymph nodes resected, postoperative outcomes (drainage duration, length of hospital stay, 30-day mortality), postoperative complications (pneumonia, bronchopleural fistula/empyema, prolonged air leakage, chylothorax, pulmonary embolism, and arrhythmia), and long-term outcomes (overall survival, recurrence-free survival). CONCLUSIONS The limitation of our study arises mainly due to the heterogeneity of the included studies. Nevertheless, VATS bronchial sleeve lung resection constitutes a feasible and safe alternative to the open sleeve lung resection surgery for the management of centrally located lung tumors.

Effect of Ropivacaine Combined with Small Doses of Triamcinolone and Continuous Nerve Block of Unilateral Paravertebral Canal Guided by Ultrasound on Metastasis after Radical Treatment of Lung Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:6310081. [PMID: 35813861 PMCID: PMC9259295 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6310081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Continuous nerve block of unilateral paravertebral canal is one of the most reliable and the most commonly performed techniques to control intra- and postoperative pain. It is the technique of injecting local anaesthetic alongside the thoracic vertebra close to where the spinal nerves emerge from the intervertebral foramen. This produces unilateral, segmental, somatic, and sympathetic nerve blockade, which is effective for anaesthesia and in treating acute and chronic pain of unilateral origin from the chest and abdomen. Ultrasound guidance with or without nerve stimulator has reduced the amount of local anaesthetics (LA) to achieve a successful block, which may minimize complications of continuous nerve block of unilateral paravertebral canal. Previous studies have suggested that continuous nerve block of unilateral paravertebral canal with ropivacaine combined with small doses of triamcinolone was effective to achieve sensory and motor block after lung cancer surgery. Previous studies have used a fixed large dose in different volumes and concentrations for a nerve block, infraclavicular block, axillary block, and humeral canal block. The results of these studies with the respects of onset time, successful rate, and block duration were not consistent. Various factors, including the technique used, the anatomic aspects of the injection, and the pharmacodynamics aspect of drug, may influence the results. We tested the hypothesis that 50,25,10 mg ropivacaine and 50,25,10 mg triamcinolone of three combinations of volumes and concentrations for ultrasound-guided continuous nerve block of unilateral paravertebral canal produce different effects in the aspect of survival rate. Here, the drug effect was analyzed using the cross cluster K-nearest neighbors (KNN). The whole experimentation was carried out under MATLAB environment.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to develop an algorithm to predict postoperative pneumonia among elderly patients with lung cancer after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. We analyzed 3,009 patients from the Thoracic Perioperative Database for Geriatrics in our hospital and finally enrolled 1,585 elderly patients (age≧65 years) with lung cancer treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The included patients were randomly divided into a training group (n = 793) and a validation group (n = 792). Patients in the training group were used to develop the algorithm after screening up to 30 potential risk factors, and patients in the validation group were used to internally validate the algorithm. External validation of the algorithm was achieved in the external validation dataset after enrolling 165 elderly patients with lung cancer treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery from two hospitals in China. Of all included patients, 9.15% (145/1,585) of patients suffered from postoperative pneumonia in the Thoracic Perioperative Database for Geriatrics, and 10.30% (17/165) of patients had postoperative pneumonia in the external validation dataset. The algorithm consisted of seven variables, including sex, smoking, history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), surgery duration, leukocyte count, intraoperative injection of colloid, and intraoperative injection of hormone. The C-index from the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was 0.70 in the training group, 0.67 in the internal validation group, and 0.71 in the external validation dataset, and the corresponding calibration slopes were 0.88 (95% confident interval [CI]: 0.37–1.39), 0.90 (95% CI: 0.46–1.34), and 1.03 (95% CI: 0.24–1.83), respectively. The actual probabilities of postoperative pneumonia were 5.14% (53/1031) in the low-risk group, 15.07% (71/471) in the medium-risk group, and 25.30% (21/83) in the high-risk group (p < 0.001). The algorithm can be a useful prognostic tool to predict the risk of developing postoperative pneumonia among elderly patients with lung cancer after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Abstract
A growing number of ground-glass opacity (GGO) nodules are screened out in lungs. Small GGOs are frequently neither visible nor palpable, thus undetectable during operation. Various nodule localization techniques have been developed to facilitate the intraoperative detection of GGO nodules; however, general localization techniques are infeasible or inappropriate in some cases. The detection of small GGO is a great challenge, even within a surgical specimen in the absence of preoperative localization. A localization-independent approach for GGO detection is urgently needed. Herein, we report two cases with invisible and impalpable small GGO which were not appropriate for preoperative localization. The lesions were anatomically resected under the guidance of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and got an adequate margin distance. A vessel (artery, vein, or bronchus) which had advanced into or immediately adjacent to the nodule was assigned as a reference vessel. By dissecting and tracing the reference vessel from proximal to distal, the GGO lesions were successfully detected in the surgical specimens, to the eventual obtainment of an accurate pathological diagnosis. Via the two case reports, we introduced an easily handled approach, namely dissecting and tracing a reference vessel, for GGO detection. The novel approach was first described. Combined with precise anatomical segmentectomy guided by 3D reconstruction, it provides an alternative scheme for GGO resection with no need for preoperative localization.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are different today, due to the increased use of screening programs and of innovative systemic therapies, leading to the diagnosis of earlier and pre-invasive tumors, and of more advanced and controlled metastatic tumors. Surgery for NSCLC remains the cornerstone treatment when it can be performed. The role of surgery and surgeons has also evolved because surgeons not only perform the initial curative lung cancer resection but they also accompany and follow-up patients from pre-operative rehabilitation, to treatment for recurrences. Surgery is personalized, according to cancer characteristics, including cancer extensions, from pre-invasive and local tumors to locally advanced, metastatic disease, or residual disease after medical treatment, anticipating recurrences, and patients' characteristics. Surgical management is constantly evolving to offer the best oncologic resection adapted to each NSCLC stage. Today, NSCLC can be considered as a chronic disease and surgery is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of recurrences, and in palliative conditions to relieve dyspnea and improve patients' comfort.

Abstract
To investigate comparative short-term outcomes of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) versus video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for older non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Patients ≥ 65 years old with stage I-III NSCLC operated with RAS or VATS from 2016 to 2018 were consecutively included. Propensity score-matched (PSM) method was implemented to balance inter-group biases. Totally 376 participants (224 with VATS and 152 with RAS) were included. After PSM, a cohort (144 with VATS and 107 with RAS) was generated with balanced baseline characteristics. RAS was significantly superior over VATS in the majority of perioperative outcomes, such as operating time (120.8 vs. 165.1 min), conversion rate (0.0% vs. 19.4%), and length of stay (8.6 vs. 10.8 days). RAS versus VATS was significantly associated with comparable rates of postoperative complications (OR 0.642, 95% CI 0.311-1.327), except the rate of pneumonia (OR 0.161, 95% CI 0.048-0.544). RAS leads to analogous postoperative complications and seemingly accelerates the recovery time of older NSCLC patients compared with VATS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate risk factors of conversion to thoracotomy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) underwent robotic- (RATS) or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). METHODS A retrospective review was conducted to included consecutive participants from January 2016 to December 2018. Three groups [mini-invasive, conversion, and up-front open thoracotomy (OT) groups] and two series of comparison (conversion versus mini-invasive, and conversion versus OT) were generated. Propensity score-matched analysis (1:1) was conducted to verify outcomes of complications and perioperative factors. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential risk factors of conversion. RESULTS 1177 patients (912 in mini-invasive group, 180 in conversion group, and 85 in OT group) were included. The overall conversion rate was 16.5%. Robotic approach resulted in dramatically lower conversion rate compared to VATS (2.4% vs 25.1%, p < 0.001). After propensity adjustment, no significant difference of complication rates was identified when comparing conversion group with mini-invasive and OT groups. Multivariate regression analyses shown that robotic approach (odd ratio (OR) = 0.037, 95% confidential interval (CI) 0.016-0.087), tumor size < 5 cm (OR = 0.274, 95% CI 0.152-0.493), no chief symptom(OR = 0.311, 95% CI 0.178-0.545), body mass index < 25 kg/m2 (OR = 0.537, 95% CI 0.343-0.842), and lobectomy (OR = 0.079, 95% CI 0.017-0.370) were independent protectors of conversion. CONCLUSIONS Seven demographic factors might be recognized as independent predictors of conversion. For patients with highly risk of conversion, robotic approach is recommended to perform mini-invasive pulmonary surgery over VATS.
