Background: Elective extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is rarely used in thoracic surgery, apart from lung transplantation. The purpose of this study was to summarize our institutional experience with the intraoperative use veno-venous (VV) ECMO selected cases main airway surgery. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data 10 patients who underwent surgery support VV-ECMO between June 2013 and August 2022. Results: Surgical procedures included: three carinal resection reconstruction...
Three-dimensional (3D) is a useful tool for visualizing computed tomography (CT) scans, facilitating clearer understanding of the spatial relationships between pulmonary lesions and branching architecture bronchi blood vessels. Several studies have demonstrated benefit preoperative 3D reconstruction in terms intraoperative safety short-term surgical outcomes after thoracoscopic surgery. However, evidence regarding impact on planning anatomical partial lobectomy (APL) still lacking. This...
Background: Lung adenocarcinoma exhibits heterogeneity among different histological subtypes, with solid and micropapillary subgroups (classified as high-grade) associated worse prognosis. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the impact high-grade on survival in patients undergoing intentional thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Methods: Patients who underwent segmentectomy for clinical-stage IA non-small-cell lung cancer between 2016 2023 were reviewed. population divided...
Lung segmentectomy is widely used to treat early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the risk of local recurrence in ipsilateral lobe increased and surgical treatment could be a real challenge. The aim this study report our experience consecutive series patients undergoing completion lobectomy (CL) after thoracoscopic segmentectomy. We retrospectively reviewed all medical charts who underwent for NSCLC (cIA) between January 2015 December 2023, focusing on had treated with CL. Among...
Abstract Postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF) complicates 10–15% of pulmonary lobectomy and 20–30% pneumonectomy, contributing to increased morbidity, extended hospital stays, healthcare costs. Identifying predictors PoAF may aid in risk stratification preventive care. We prospectively studied 100 consecutive patients who underwent lung surgery for a malignant tumour, including video-assisted thoracic (VATS) open thoracotomy. Patients with prior fibrillation, cardiac surgery, or thyroid...
Background: Standard sleeve lobectomies are recommended over pneumonectomy (PN), but the efficacy and oncological proficiency of complex (CSLs) have not been completely investigated. The aim this study was to report our experience in CSL patients affected by a centrally located non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), comparing all variables outcomes with PN. Methods: From 2014 2022, we collected data who underwent PN for NSCLC, excluding neuroendocrine tumors, salvage surgery or carinal...
There is currently a lack of clinical data on the novel beta-coronavirus infection [caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)] and concomitant primary lung cancer. Our goal was to report our experiences with 5 patients treated for cancer while infected SARS-CoV-2.
The functional impact of thoracoscopic basal segmentectomy in comparison with lower lobectomy has not been investigated in-depth and the aim this study was to clarify topic.We retrospectively analysed a cohort patients who underwent surgery between 2015 2019 for non-small-cell lung cancer, peripherally located nodules, far enough from both apical segment lobar hilum allow an oncologically safe or segmentectomy. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) including spirometry plethysmography were...
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is more effective for diagnosing and treating solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). It sometimes difficult to localize through use of minimally invasive techniques. We evaluated the feasibility, effectiveness, safety a novel localization method SPNs. Here, we describe our technical process, perioperative results, accumulated experience over years. Between February 2018 April 2023, retrospective study claw-suture technique was conducted in single...
The role of video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy in the treatment clinical IA non-small-cell lung cancer is not well established. aim our retrospective analysis was to evaluate oncological results complex and simple segmentectomy.From 2015 June 2020, data n = 163 consecutive patients undergoing for solitary pulmonary nodule were analysed. Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test Cox regression used estimate, compare survivals identify risk factors worse outcomes.In this period, 123 underwent...
Abstract Background Postoperative AF (PoAF) is a common complication of the early postoperative period noncardiac, thoracic surgery and associated with prolonged hospital stay. In order to investigate predictors PoAF in specific setting lung oncologic patients, we retrospectively analyzed 338 consecutive patients admitted our department be operated for cancer thoracotomy approach (i.e., open surgery). We determined this population’s prevalence, risk factors, consequences PoAF. Results...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results robot-assisted (RATS) thymectomy in treatment large thymomas, defined as larger than 5 cm.We retrospectively reviewed 106 thymectomies from 2010 2020, creating two groups based on surgical approach (open or RATS) and size. Kaplan-Meier Cox-regression were used estimate identify risk factors oncological outcomes. To perform a well-balanced analysis, propensity score matched (PSM) analysis conducted for thymomas.From 2015, we...
Background: With the popularity of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), more and pulmonary nodules are being discovered. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become first choice for surgical treatment nodules. The use accurate preoperative localization is crucial successful resection in VATS. At present, there many kinds methods, but certain disadvantages. This study aimed to evaluate feasibility safety mixed reality (MR)-guided localization, which a new method that can...
Carinal re-resection for tumour recurrence is rarely performed due to increased difficulty in airway reconstruction. We reported a successful case of carinal resection and reconstruction recurrent chondrosarcoma after previous distal tracheal resection. Due the technical complexity poor respiratory reserve patient, veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support was used.
Tracheobronchial injury is a life-threatening condition with considerable missed diagnosis rate. The larger the tracheal lesion more difficult it to heal. Both conservative and non-conservative treatments are used treat injury. This article reports clinical scenario in which treatment was successfully manage severe tear.
