Abstract OBJECTIVES Our goal was to report the results of first consensus paper among international experts in uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UniVATS) lobectomy obtained through a Delphi process, objective which define and standardize main procedural steps, optimize its indications perioperative management identify elements assist future training. METHODS The 40 members working group were convened organized on voluntary basis by Uniportal VATS Interest Group (UVIG) European...
Background: While the safety and feasibility of robotic thymectomy have been well documented through several studies, surgical long-term neurological outcomes in patients with thymomatous myasthenia gravis (MG), particularly advanced stages, remain scarce. This study aims to evaluate undergoing robotic-assisted (RATS) for thymoma analyze myasthenia. Material Methods: Out 128 thymectomies performed at our institution between October 2013 January 2022, clinical pathological data from 55...
Abstract: Nearly six years since inception, uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has become a growing part of major lung resections and revolutionized the way surgeons treat pulmonary lesions. This technique is being touted for various benefits. It ensures direct visualization together with better exposure allows chance digital palpation lesion through small incision. Postoperative pain reduced due to involvement only one intercostal space without rib spreading muscle disruption....
To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of continuous erector spinae plane block(c-ESPB) and serratus anterior block(c-SAPB) versus intercostal nerve block (ICNB) in Uniportal-VATS terms pain control, drug consumption, complications.
To address the question of how much chest-wall (CW) resections and prosthetic reconstructions influence functional outcome.We retrospectively reviewed 175 patients who underwent surgery for CW tumors. The clinical, histological, surgical, oncological, factors were analyzed.We performed: 75 rib resections; 20 sternal 15 combined 27 lung resections. In 39 cases (22.2%) was stabilized with non-rigid prosthesis (Vicryl-mesh: 8 patients; Goretex-mesh: 31 patients). Postoperative complications...
Data on high-flow nasal oxygen after thoracic surgery are limited and confined to the comparison with low-flow oxygen. Different from oxygen, Venturi masks provide higher gas flow at a predetermined fraction of inspired (FiO2). We conducted randomized trial determine whether preemptive reduces incidence postoperative hypoxemia lung resection, as compared mask therapy. In this single-center, in teaching hospital Italy, consecutive adult patients undergoing thoracotomic who were not long-term...
Background: Endoscopic thoracic sympathetic chain clipping (ETSC) is a definitive treatment for primary palmar and/or axillary hyperhidrosis (PPAH); however, compensatory sweating (CS) remains feared complication. The aims of this study were to investigate the factors associated with CS and satisfaction evaluate post-operative quality life (QoL). Methods: From January 2011 August 2023, 180 patients who had undergone two-stage ETSC prospectively asked complete pre- questionnaires on...
Chylothorax is caused by lymphatic chyle fluid leaking through the thoracic duct and accumulating in pleural cavity. It related to a injury or occlusion. Our 26-year-old patient sustained traumatic duct. We used novel approach treat this patient, that is, we identified combining uniportal video-assisted surgery with injection of indocyanine green bilaterally inguinal lymph nodes.
Background: Emphysema is a chronic lung disease characterized by alveolar wall destruction, leading to impaired gas exchange. Giant bullous emphysema (GBE) severe form of emphysema, often requiring surgical intervention. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) minimally invasive approach for various thoracic pathologies, including volume reduction (LVRS) and bullectomy emphysematous bullae. Uniportal VATS (U–VATS), further refinement, offers benefits such as reduced postoperative pain...
Abstract Objective The presence of micropapillary and solid adenocarcinoma patterns leads to a worse survival significantly higher tendency recur. This study aims assess the impact pT descriptor combined with high-grade components on long-term outcomes in early-stage lung adenocarcinomas. Methods We retrospectively collected data consecutive resected pT1-T3N0 from nine European Thoracic Centers. All patients who underwent radical resection lymph-node dissection between 2014 2017 were...
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate if the efficacy and safety chest tube placement are influenced by level intercostal space insertion (uniportal VATS vs. biportal VATS) or type drain employed (standard smart coaxial drain). Methods: Data on patients who underwent either uniportal upper lobectomies with lymphadenectomy were prospectively collected in three European centers. group a 28 Fr standard (U-VATS standard) was compared smart), U-VATS also inserted VIII (Bi-VATS smart)....
Background: Completion lobectomy (CL) following a prior resection in the same lobe may be complicated by severe pleural or hilar adhesions. The role of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS) has never been evaluated this setting. Methods: Data were collected from two Italian centers. Between 2015 and 2022, 122 patients (60 men 62 women, median age 67.7 ± 8.913) underwent U-VATS CL at least 4 weeks after previous lung surgery. Results: Twenty-eight (22.9%) affected chronic...
Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic (U-VATS) lobectomy has been becoming the technique of choice in an increasing number centers. The aim our study was to review experience, evaluating learning curve U-VATS for lung and outcomes.The prospectively collected clinical data 43 consecutive patients, undergone from June 2016 September 2017, were reviewed. cumulative sum analysis applied defining completion (CLC), relationship between operative time operations.The mean VATS 179.93±43.41 min....
The aim of this study was to evaluate the Masaoka-Koga and tumor node metastases (TNM) staging system in thymic epithelial tumors (TET) considering possible improvements.We reviewed data 379 patients who underwent surgical resection for TET from 1 January 1985 2018, collecting classifying pathological report according TMN system. number involved organs also considered as a prognostic factor integrated two systems verify its impact.Considering system, 5- 10-year overall survival (5-10YOS)...
Background: The lung is one of the sites most frequently affected by metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Nonsurgical therapy for mRCC has limited efficacy, while 5-year survival rates data published in literature after pulmonary surgery metastasectomy, emphasize role as treatment that guarantees best effectiveness resectable metastases.
The efficacy of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the treatment pleural empyema has recently been proven. Till today, very few works evaluated role uniportal-VATS (U-VATS) approach even if it currently represents most innovative and less invasive thoracoscopic approach. We report our experience with U-VATS empyema.A retrospective bicentric analysis 35 consecutive patients who underwent surgical stage II III was performed, from January 2015 to May 2017.The mean age 57.26±18.29 years...
