Objective: To evaluate type of surgery, long-term survival and factors influencing outcome in pulmonary carcinoid tumors. Patients methods: We reviewed data 252 patients who underwent surgery for tumor 1968–1989 (Group A) 1990–2005 B). All cases were classified as typical (TC) or atypical (AC) according to WHO criteria (1999). Results: There 174 (69%) with TC (167 N0, 6 N1 1 N2) 78 (31%) AC (56 13 N1, 9 N2). Surgery consisted 163 (64.7%) formal lung resections (121 lobectomies, 18...
Benign tracheal stenoses remain the most common indications for resection. We report lessons learned with surgical management of in a consecutive series 65 patients from beginning our experience to date.From December 1991 January 2001 underwent primary and laryngotracheal resection reconstruction non-neoplastic stenoses. There were 39 males 26 females median age 33 years (range 14-74 years). 58 cases postintubation seven idiopathic stenosis. A cervical approach was used 60 patients, incision...
Sublobar resection for early-stage lung cancer is still a controversial issue. We sought to compare sublobar (segmentectomy or wedge resection) with lobectomy in the treatment of patients second primary cancer. From January 1995 December 2010, 121 cancer, classified by criteria proposed Martini and Melamed, were treated at our Institution. had 23 synchronous tumour 98 metachronous. As treatment, we performed 61 lobectomies (17 these completion pneumonectomies), 38 atypical resections 22...
The development of a multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) is not rare in long-term survivors after curative resections. We analysed our experience order to verify surgical results and survival patients.From 1971 1999, 80 patients with MPLC (two tumours each, total 160) were treated at the Division Thoracic Surgery University Padua. Our criteria for definition synchronous or metachronous are those proposed by Martini Melamed. had 19 tumour 61 tumour. performed 95 lobectomies, 5 completion...
Objective: Sleeve lobectomy represents an effective and widely accepted surgical therapy for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We sought to review our experience in terms of mortality, early late morbidity, long-term survival evaluating the technical progresses overtime. Material methods: From 1980 2005, 199 patients underwent sleeve lobectomy. Pathology revealed 167 (83.9%) squamous carcinomas, 23 (11.6%) adenocarcinomas, 7 (3.5%) large 2 (1%) adenosquamous carcinomas. In 39 (19.6%) a...
We evaluated factors that influenced morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing completion pneumonectomy (CP).A retrospective review of a consecutive series who underwent CP at six international centres.In total, 165 were performed between March 1990 December 2009: 152 for malignant disease 13 benign disease. Forty-two (25.4%) neoadjuvant therapy. Right was 99 (60%) left 66 (40%). Thoracotomy employed 161 median sternotomy 4. Stapled closure the bronchus 121 hand 44. The overall...
Pancoast tumour is a rare neoplasia in which the optimal therapeutic management still controversial. The traditional treatment of (surgery, radiotherapy or combination both) have led to an unsatisfactory outcome due high rate incomplete resection and lack local systemic control. aim study was determine efficacy trimodality approach. Fifty-six patients (male/female ratio: 47/9, median age: 64 years) stage IIB IIIB were treated during period between 1994 2013. Induction therapy consisted 2-3...
Only few studies compared the surgical morbidity and mortality of thoracoscopic segmentectomy versus lobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer, in particular, by relating segmental resections with corresponding anatomical lobes.We enrolled a total 7487 patients who underwent VATS (7269) or (218) from January 2014 to July 2019. A propensity score matching approach was used account potential confounding factors between 2 groups. After matching, 349 lobectomies 208 segmentectomies were included...
The Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a clinical potentially disabling condition characterized by group of upper extremity signs and symptoms due to the compression neurovascular bundle passing through thoracic outlet region. Because non-specific nature symptoms, lack consensus for objective diagnosis, wide range etiologies, actual figure still matter debate among experts. We aimed summarize current evidence about pathophysiology, diagnosis treatment syndrome, report retrospective analysis on 324...
The objective of the study was to evaluate outcome in elderly patients (>75 years) submitted pneumonectomy for lung cancer. Records 40 patients, who underwent at our Institution from 1990 2008, were retrospectively reviewed. This group compared with 289 younger same period. In older median age 77 years (range 75–84 years), 16 right-side procedures. 62 24–74 114 right-sided overall mortality rate 7.5% and 6.2% groups, respectively (P=0.75); morbidity 35.1% 17.7% (P=0.01) five-year survival...
Induction therapy (IT) has gained popularity in recent years, becoming a standard of treatment resectable lymph node-positive NSCLC. IT aims to downstage the disease (shrinkage tumour and clearance node-metastases), clear distant micrometastases prolong survival. Potential disadvantages are increased morbidity and/or mortality after surgery risk progression that could have been initially resected. The purpose this study was evaluate outcomes prognostic factors series patients with NSCLC...
To date, there have been no established therapies for recurrent malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) after multimodality treatment. Aims of this retrospective study are to analyze the recurrence pattern, its treatment and identify predictors best oncological outcomes relapsed MPM, comparing extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) vs. pleurectomy/decortication (PD). Study population: 94 patients with MPM underwent macroscopic complete resection (52.1% EPP 47.9% PD) between July 1994 February 2020....
Secondary pneumothorax represents a challenging problem in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, due to their compromised health status. In this case, an endobronchial one-way valve was inserted the left lower lobe by flexible bronchoscopy, resulting complete resolution of air leak and lung reexpansion. Endobronchial could represent new option for management persistent not suitable surgical procedures.
Abstract Background The role of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the treatment non-small-cell lung cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial. aim this study is to demonstrate reliability lobectomy compared open approach by evaluating perioperative and long-term outcomes. Methods In retrospective, multicentric from January 2010 December 2018, we included all patients with who underwent through or chemotherapy. outcomes, including data concerning feasibility surgical...
