To minimize air leak after anatomical lung resections, many video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) surgeons use a 'fissureless' technique, using staplers to divide the hilar bronchovascular structures first and main part of fissure last. We describe cohort 198 consecutive patients operated with an alternative fissureless opening completely at early stage VATS resection. open incomplete staplers, tunnel dissection is started anterior between triangle pulmonary veins parenchyma. After...
Nodal upstaging is a quality indicator for oncological thoracic surgery and found in up to 25% of patients with clinical stage I (cStage-I) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In large retrospective series, lower N1 was reported after video-assisted (VATS) resections. We studied the impact central primary tumour location on nodal cStage-I NSCLC. Consecutive operated NSCLC were selected from prospectively managed surgical database. Tumour classified as if lesion visible during standard video...
The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy Airgo™, a non-invasive wearable device that records breath, with respect gold standard. In 21 healthy subjects (10 males, 11 females), four parameters were recorded for min at rest and in different positions simultaneously by Airgo™ SensorMedics 2900 metabolic cart. Then, cardio-pulmonary exercise test was performed using Erg 800S cycle ergometer order Airgo™’s during physical effort. results reveal relative error median percentage respiratory...
Current guidelines recommend preoperative invasive mediastinal staging in centrally located tumours with negative mediastinum on positron emission tomography-computed tomography, based a 20-30% prevalence of occult disease (pN2-3). However, uniform definition central tumour location is lacking. Our objective was to determine the best predicting pN2-3.A single-institution database queried for patients (suspected) non-small-cell lung cancer staged cN0 after tomography and referred and/or...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Large retrospective series have indicated lower rates of cN0 to pN1 nodal upstaging after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) compared with open resections for Stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The objective our multicentre study was investigate whether the presumed rate N1 VATS disappears correction central tumour location in a multivariable analysis. METHODS Consecutive patients operated PET-CT based clinical NSCLC were selected from prospectively managed...
VATS wedge resection can require conversion to thoracotomy when pulmonary lesions cannot be identified. Hybrid operating rooms (HORs) provide real-time image acquisition capabilities allowing the intraoperative placement of markers facilitate removal non-palpable nodules during VATS.To present our workflow based on alternative use two different according location lung lesion and report initial results.All consecutive patients with requiring underwent localization targets in HOR. Lesions were...
Stage III lung cancer (LC) represents a heterogeneous group of diseases, and the optimal management is still matter debate. To date, only few studies have assessed role multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion in impacting survival stage LC. Hence, we aimed to reported impact implementation MDT on long-term LC patients.
to date, no consensus has been reached on the surgical gold-standard in pleural mesothelioma (PM). We retrospectively reviewed our experience as a tertiary referral centre, compare short- and long-term survival of PM patients undergoing different types surgery.
