Robotic thymectomy for early-stage thymomas has been recently suggested as a technically sound and safe approach. However, due to lack of data on long term results, controversy still exists regarding its oncological efficacy. In this multi-institutional series collected from four European Centres with high volumes robotic procedures, we evaluate the results after robot-assisted thoracoscopic thymoma.Between 2002 2014, 134 patients (61 males 73 females, median age 59 years) clinical diagnosis...
The aim of this study was to report a single referral centre experience in the exeresis mediastinal lesions with robotic surgical system. outcomes all patients were retrospectively investigated special regard myasthenic and thymomatous patients. From February 2001 December 2010, 69 (30 males, 39 females), mean age 55.4 years (range 20–81), underwent surgery for treatment lesions. There thymectomies, 13 paravertebral neurogenic tumour removals, 9 pleuropericardial cyst 3 teratoma excisions, 4...
Background/Objectives: The surgical resection of pulmonary metastases is considered a therapeutic option in selected cases. In light this, we present the results from national multicenter prospective registry lung metastasectomy. Methods: This retrospective analysis involves data collected prospectively and consecutively multicentric Italian database, including patients who underwent primary endpoints were morbidity overall survival (OS), with secondary focusing on potential risk factors...
As the European population ages, surgeons are regularly faced with octogenarians resectable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We compared our experience those reported in literature to comprehend feasibility, outcomes and lessons learned regarding surgical treatment. reviewed who underwent resection for NSCLC past nine years Department. The purpose of this paper is retrospectively analyse postoperative oncological series, trying find possible correlations between mortality,...
The aim of this study was to report a single referral centre experience in robotic extended thymectomy for clinical early-stage thymomas, evaluating its safety, feasibility and efficacy, with special regard oncological outcomes. Between April 2002 February 2011, we retrospectively selected all those patients who underwent thymomas. Operative time, morbidity, mortality, duration hospitalization overall disease-free survival were analysed. There 14 (8 males, 6 females) mean age 65.2 years...
Recurrences of thymoma are described in 10–30% cases up to 10 years after surgical resection. Herein we report our experience with removal pleural recurrences followed by hyperthermic intrathoracic perfusion chemotherapy (HITHOC). We prospectively collected data patients recurrence who underwent surgery HITHOC. After thoracotomy had been closed, drainages were connected a dedicated machine, space was filled saline solution, progressively heated 42.5°C. At this time, chemotherapeutic agents...
The main aim of this study was to compare radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and wedge resection in terms disease recurrence survival, as intent-to-treat therapy for stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) marginal or non-surgical candidates. 121 high-risk patients, treated NSCLC with (n=59) RFA (n=62) a 7-year period, were analysed. Age, sex, comorbidity score, performance status, forced expiratory volume 1 s vital capacity values, body mass index, T-stage histology evaluated possible risk...
The aim of this study was to analyse the results robotic lobectomy for lung cancer. evolution technique and technology evaluated. During period 2004–12, all patients who underwent clinical early-stage cancer were retrospectively reviewed. divided into two groups. Group 1 included 69 operated by first generation surgical system. 2 160 treated with latest Age, gender, comorbidities, operative time, docking conversion rate, morbidity, mortality length postoperative stay compared in both groups...
ObjectivesRadiofrequency ablation of lung tumors is an emerging technique with promising results. To achieve more information on its effects pulmonary parenchyma and primary tumors, to assess efficacy in determining complete necrosis the lesion, we led a pilot study consisting thermal followed by surgical resection.MethodsTen patients early stage non–small cell cancer were enrolled study. In 5 radiofrequency was achieved through thoracotomy just before resection. another performed...
