Pulmonary function protection by single-port thoracoscopic segmental lung resection in elderly patients with IA non-small cell lung cancer: A differential matched analysis.

Abstract
In patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (U-VATS) anatomical segmentectomy removes the lung tumor while preserving lung function as much as possible, and it is therefore an alternative to lobectomy. Patients with stage IA NSCLC receiving U-VATS segmental resection at our institution from September 2017 to June 2019 were compared with patients receiving U-VATS lobectomy. A total of 47 patients received segmentectomy and 209 patients received U-VATS lobectomy in the same period. Propensity score matching was conducted to diminish bias. The final study cohort included 42 patients who received segmentectomy and 42 propensity score matching-matched patients who received lobectomy. Perioperative parameters and postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and forced vital capacity (FVC) were compared between the 2 groups. Surgery was successfully completed in all patients. The mean follow-up was for 8.2 months. The postoperative complication rate was comparable between the 2 groups: 31.0% in segmentectomy patients versus 35.7% in lobectomy patients (P = .643). At 1 month after surgery, FEV1% and FVC% were not significantly different between the 2 groups (P > .05). At 3 months after surgery, FEV1 and FVC were higher in segmentectomy patients than in lobectomy patients (FEV1, 82.79% ± 6.36% vs 78.55% ± 5.42%; FVC, 81.66% ± 6.09% vs 78.90% ± 5.58%, P < .05). Patients receiving segmentectomy suffer less pain and have better postoperative lung function and higher quality of life.

Application of three-dimensional computed tomography imaging and reconstructive techniques in lung surgery: A mini-review. Front Surg 2022; 9:1079857.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary surgery is an innovative discipline with increasing demands for minimally invasive techniques in complicated anatomical resections, warranting adequate preoperative imaging of relevant surgical anatomy to ensure safe and radical resection of target lesions. Over the recent years, the emergence of imaging techniques enabling three-dimensional reconstruction has exerted promising influence on pulmonary surgery, facilitating optimal surgical planning and easier identification of the spatial relationship between bronchovascular structures in the individual patient and aiding the safe resection of target pulmonary lesions. The goal of this mini-review is to provide an overview of three-dimensional computed tomography imaging within pulmonary surgery. Methods The authors performed a targeted qualitative review of the literature to identify current trends and to provide better understanding of three-dimensional reconstruction within the boundaries of pulmonary surgery. Results Three-dimensional reconstructive techniques can be used for resectability assessment, identification of surgically relevant interindividual anatomic variance and may improve perioperative outcomes. Discussion Three-dimensional reconstruction using computed tomography imaging improves surgical planning and there is evidence that it results in shorter operative times, less intraoperative blood loss and lower rates of surgical conversion, as it can be applied both pre- and intraoperatively.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:743848. [PMID: 34746260 PMCID: PMC8566341 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.743848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary artery sling (PAS) is a rare but fatal malformation. Patients with PAS tend to develop obstructive symptoms in few weeks of life. Conversely, some patients may be otherwise mild or asymptomatic in their early life. Currently, no consensus on the intervention timing and treatment strategy for asymptomatic and mild cases has been reached. Moreover, the extent of tracheal stenosis is another determining factor for the choice of intervention timing since clinical symptoms might not correspond well with the degree of stenosis. Lack of comprehensive assessment of entire airways confer underestimation of disease severity and in turn improper choice of treatment regimens and poor outcomes. Herein, we described an infantile case of PAS, who was scheduled initially for periodic outpatient follow-up on account of the absence of symptoms and inadequate imaging assessment at diagnosis. The patient developed recurrent wheezing and progressive respiratory distress at 7 months of age. After left pulmonary artery (LPA) reimplantation without tracheal intervention, bronchoscopy was performed due to failure to wean from mechanical ventilation, which demonstrated complete tracheal cartilage rings, a long segment tracheal stenosis, a low tracheal bifurcation at T6, and the absence of a separate right middle lobe bronchus. The patient was finally diagnosed with type IIb PAS and extubated successfully following conservative treatment. Miserably, neurological sequelae were devastating, leading to poor outcomes. Comprehensive airway evaluation using bronchoscopy is substantial to early identification of all components responsible for airway compromise in PAS anatomic subtypes. Considering severe concomitant maldevelopment of the bronchial tree in children with type IIb PAS, early and complete correction by surgery might decrease perioperative morbidities and mortalities of these patients.
