Despite increasing interest in minimally invasive surgical techniques and related developments flexible endoscopes catheters, follow-the-leader motion remains elusive. Following the path of least resistance through a tortuous potentially delicate environment without relying on interaction with surrounding anatomy requires control many degrees freedom. This typically results large-diameter instruments. One viable solution to obtain dexterity size is via multiple-point magnetic actuation over...
The aim of this study was to assess the immediate influence chest tube removal on pain and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) after pulmonary resection. Prospective longitudinal investigation 104 consecutive patients (53 wedge/segmentectomies 51 lobectomies; 69 muscle nerve-sparing lateral thoracotomy 35 video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)). Post-operative controlled all by a standardized combination oral intravenous non-opioid analgesics. All had one (24 French). Static dynamic...
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of patient-reported outcome (PRO)-based symptom management in early period after lung cancer surgery.Before surgery, patients with clinically diagnosed were randomly assigned 1:1 receive postoperative PRO-based or usual care. All reported symptoms on MD Anderson Symptom Inventory-Lung Cancer presurgery, daily postsurgery, twice a week discharge for up 4 weeks via an electronic PRO system. In intervention group, treating surgeons responded...
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, in JCO elsewhere, for which point has already been reported. We previously reported superior symptom control of electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO)–based management...
Abstract Lung cancer remains one of the most life-threatening diseases and is currently managed through invasive approaches such as surgery, chemo- or radiotherapy. In this work, we introduce a novel method for targeted delivery therapeutic laser treatment tumors in peripheral areas lungs. The approach uses 2.4 mm diameter, ultra-soft, patient-specific magnetic catheter delivered from end standard bronchoscope to reach periphery Integrated shape sensing facilitates supervised autonomous...
Background: The objective of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the association between airflow and intrapleural pressures digitally recorded during immediate postoperative period after lobectomy their ability predict risk subsequent prolonged air leak (PAL). Methods: A total 145 consecutive patients underwent pulmonary in two centers. All were managed with chest tube placed on suction (−20 cm H2O) until morning first day. Measurement maximum minimum 6th hour using a...
The most recent evolution of patient management after thoracic surgery implies the concept fast-tracking. Since 2008, our unit has implemented a programme based on clinical protocols and standardized pathways care aimed to reduce postoperative stay major lung resection. objective this study was verify safety policy by monitoring readmission rate. This is prospective observational 914 consecutive pulmonary lobectomies performed at institution from January 2000 October 2010. we started...
In 2012, the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) created Lung Neuroendocrine Tumors Working Group (NETs-WG) with aim to develop scientific knowledge on clinical management such rare neoplasms. This paper outlines outcome and prognostic factors two aggressive NETs: atypical carcinoids (ACs) large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNCs). Using ESTS NETs-WG database, we retrospectively collected data 261 patients in seven institutions Europe, between 1994 2011. We used a Cox regression...
