Marital status has been shown to have protective effects for married patients with various cancers. We sought determine of marital on perioperative outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL). retrospectively analyzed 709 consecutive who underwent RAPL between 2010 and 2022 by one surgeon. Patients were stratified at time surgery. The Married group included married, domestically partnered, co-habitating (N=473). Unmarried never divorced, widowed individuals (N=236)....
Background: The blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio (BAR) is an emerging prognostic parameter of interest. utility BAR as a factor has not been analyzed in lung cancer patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy. We evaluated the ability High predict worse outcomes after robotic-assisted lobectomy (RAPL) for cancer. Methods: retrospectively 400 who underwent RAPL from September 2010 March 2022 by one surgeon. Patients were stratified Low (<6.25 mg/g) and (≥6.25 mg/g). Patients’...
The COVID-19 pandemic presented patients with barriers to receiving healthcare. We sought determine whether changes in healthcare access and practice during the affected perioperative outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL).We retrospectively analyzed 721 consecutive who underwent RAPL. With March 1st, 2020, defining start of pandemic, we grouped 638 as "PreCOVID-19" 83 "COVID-19-Era" based on surgical date. Demographics, comorbidities, tumor characteristics,...
Outcomes of lung cancer patients traveling greater distances for surgical oncology care are not well-described. We investigated the effects increased travel burden after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL) cancer. Clinical characteristics and outcomes 711 consecutive who underwent RAPL from September 2010 to March 2022 were compared, stratified by primary residential ZIP code <160 km or ≥160 center. Of study patients, 515 (72.4%) lived within 160 196 (27.6%) away. There no...
Lung-sparing procedures, specifically segmentectomies and wedge resections, have increased over the years to treat early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We investigate here perioperative long-term outcomes of patients who underwent robotic-assisted segmentectomy (RAS) at an NCI-designated center aim show associations between preoperative standard update value (SUV) tumor stage, recurrence patterns, overall survival. A retrospective analysis was performed on 166 consecutive RAS a...
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia previously linked to systemic inflammation, which has been correlated with leukocyte and prealbumin levels. We sought identify predictors of postoperative atrial (POAF) following robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy. This retrospective cohort study included 709 consecutive patients who underwent lobectomy by one surgeon over 10.7 years. compared demographics, preoperative comorbidities, perioperative leukocyte, levels, complications, chest tube (CT)...
