RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Implementation of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program is associated with better postoperative outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of ERAS compliance (overall and to specific elements of the program) on them. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. SETTING: University hospital, monocentric. PARTICIPANTS: All adult (≥18 years old) patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) anatomic pulmonary resection. INTERVENTIONS: ERAS-governed VATS anatomic pulmonary resection. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Demographics, surgical characteristics and pre-, peri-, and postoperative compliance with 16 elements of the ERAS program were assessed. Postoperative outcomes and length of stay were compared between low- (<75% of adherence) and high-compliance (≥75%) groups. From April 2017 to November 2018, 192 ERAS patients (female/male: 98/94) of median age of 66 years (interquartile range 58-71) underwent VATS resection (109 lobectomies, 83 segmentectomies). There was no 30-day mortality and resurgery rate was 5.7%. Overall ERAS compliance was 76%. High compliance was associated with fewer complications (18% v 48%, p < 0.0001) and lower rate of delayed discharge (37% v 60%, pâ¯=â¯0.0013). Early removal of chest tubes (odds ratio [OR]: 0.26, p < 0.002), use of electronic drainage (OR: 0.39, pâ¯=â¯0.036), opioid cessation on day 3 (OR: 0.28, pâ¯=â¯0.016), and early feeding (OR: 0.12, pâ¯=â¯0.014) were associated with reduced rates of postoperative complications. Shorter hospital stay was correlated with early removal of chest tubes (OR: 0.12, p < 0.0001) and opioid cessation on day 3 (OR: 0.23, pâ¯=â¯0.001). CONCLUSIONS: High ERAS compliance is associated with better postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing anatomic pulmonary VATS resections.

Since the late 1990s, and Henrik Kehlet's hypothesis that a reduction of the body's stress response to major surgeries could decrease postoperative morbidity, "Enhanced Recovery After Surgery" (ERAS) care pathways have been streamlined. They are now well accepted and considered standard in many surgical disciplines. Yet, to this day, there is no specific ERAS protocol for chest wall resections (CWRs), the removal of a full-thickness portion of the chest wall, including muscle, bone and possibly skin. This is most unfortunate because these are high-risk surgeries, which carry high morbidity rates. In this review, we propose an overview of the current key elements of the ERAS guidelines for thoracic surgery that might apply to CWRs. A successful ERAS pathway for CWR patients would entail, as is the standard approach, three parts: pre-, peri- and postoperative elements. Preoperative items would include specific information, targeted patient education, involvement of all members of the team, including the plastic surgeons, smoking cessation, dedicated nutrition and carbohydrate loading. Perioperative items would likely be standard for thoracotomy patients, namely carefully selective pre-anesthesia sedative medication only in some rare instances, low-molecular-weight heparin throughout, antibiotic prophylaxis, minimization of postoperative nausea and vomiting, avoidance of fluid overload and of urinary drainage. Postoperative elements would include early mobilization and feeding, swift discontinuation of intravenous fluid supply and chest tube removal as soon as safe. Optimal pain management throughout also appears to be critical to minimize the risk of respiratory complications. Together, all these items are achievable and may hold the key to successful introduction of ERAS pathways to the benefit of CWR patients.
RESUMO
We aimed to evaluate whether computed tomography (CT)-derived preoperative sarcopenia measures were associated with postoperative outcomes and survival after video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) anatomical pulmonary resection in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive patients that underwent VATS anatomical pulmonary resection for NSCLC between 2012 and 2019. Skeletal muscle mass was measured at L3 vertebral level on preoperative CT or PET/CT scans to identify sarcopenic patients according to established threshold values. We compared postoperative outcomes and survival of sarcopenic vs. non-sarcopenic patients. A total of 401 patients underwent VATS anatomical pulmonary resection for NSCLC. Sarcopenia was identified in 92 patients (23%). Sarcopenic patients were predominantly males (75% vs. 25%; p < 0.001) and had a lower BMI (21.4 vs. 26.5 kg/m2; p < 0.001). The overall postoperative complication rate was significantly higher (53.2% vs. 39.2%; p = 0.017) in sarcopenic patients and the length of hospital stay was prolonged (8 vs. 6 days; p = 0.032). Two factors were associated with postoperative morbidity in multivariate analysis: BMI and American Society of Anesthesiologists score >2. Median overall survival was comparable between groups (41 vs. 46 months; p = 0.240). CT-derived sarcopenia appeared to have a small impact on early postoperative clinical outcomes, but no effect on overall survival after VATS anatomical lung resection for NSCLC.
RESUMO
Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is the recommended approach for the management of early-stage operable non-small cell lung carcinoma as well as for other pathologies of the thoracic cavity. Although VATS approaches have been largely adopted in Europe and North America, teaching the technique to novice thoracic surgery trainees remains challenging and non-standardized. Our objective was to assess the impact of a VATS simulation training program on the dexterity of thoracic surgery residents in a prospective single institution study. Methods: We developed a 6-month VATS simulation training program on two different dry-lab simulators (Johnson & Johnson Ethicon Stupnik® lobectomy model; CK Surgical Simulation® Crabtree perfused lobectomy model) and assessed the skills of first year thoracic surgery residents (study group, n=7) before and after this program using three standardized exercises on the Surgical Science Simball® Box (peg placement on a board, rope insertion in loops, precision circle cutting). The results were compared to those of last-year medical students who performed the same Simball® Box exercises at a 6-month interval without undergoing a training program (control group, n=5). For each participant, the travel distances of instruments, operation time and absences of periods of extreme motion were assessed for each exercise by the use of the computer-based evaluation of the Simball® Box. Results: After the 6-month VATS training program, all residents revealed a significant increase of their performance status with respect to instrument travel distances operation times and absence of periods of extreme motion in all three exercises performed. The performance of the control group was not different from the study group prior to the training program and remained unchanged 6 months later, for all exercises and parameters assessed. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the implementation of a VATS simulation training program objectively increases the dexterity of thoracic surgery residents and could be an interesting training tool for their surgical education.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare short-term outcomes and local control in pT1c pN0 non-small-cell lung cancer that were intentionally treated by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy or segmentectomy. METHODS: Multicentre retrospective study of consecutive patients undergoing VATS lobectomy (VL) or VATS segmentectomy (VS) for pT1c pN0 non-small-cell lung cancer from January 2014 to October 2021. Patients' characteristics, postoperative outcomes and survival were compared. RESULTS: In total, 162 patients underwent VL (n = 81) or VS (n = 81). Except for age [median (interquartile range) 68 (60-73) vs 71 (65-76) years; P = 0.034] and past medical history of cancer (32% vs 48%; P = 0.038), there was no difference between VL and VS in terms of demographics and comorbidities. Overall 30-day postoperative morbidity was similar in both groups (34% vs 30%; P = 0.5). The median time for chest tube removal [3 (1-5) vs 2 (1-3) days; P = 0.002] and median postoperative length of stay [6 (4-9) vs 5 (3-7) days; P = 0.039] were in favour of the VS group. Significantly larger tumour size (mean ± standard deviation 25.1 ± 3.1 vs 23.6 ± 3.1 mm; P = 0.001) and an increased number of lymph nodes removal [median (interquartile range) 14 (9-23) vs 10 (6-15); P < 0.001] were found in the VL group. During the follow-up [median (interquartile range) 31 (14-48) months], no statistical difference was found for local and distant recurrence in VL groups (12.3%) and VS group (6.1%) (P = 0.183). Overall survival (80% vs 80%) was comparable between both groups (P = 0.166). CONCLUSIONS: Despite a short follow-up, our preliminary data shows that local control is comparable for VL and VS.
RESUMO
Background: Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is now the preferred approach for standard anatomical pulmonary resections. This study evaluates the impact of operative time (OT) on post-operative outcomes after VATS anatomical pulmonary resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive patients undergoing VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy for NSCLC between November 2010 and December 2019. Postoperative outcomes were compared between short (<150 minutes) and long (≥150 minutes) OT groups. A multivariable analysis was performed to identify predictors of long OT and overall post-operative complications. Results: A total of 670 patients underwent lobectomy (n=496, 74%) or segmentectomy (n=174, 26%) for NSCLC. Mediastinal lymph node dissection was performed in 621 patients (92.7%). The median OT was 141 minutes (SD: 47 minutes) and 387 patients (57.8%) were operated within 150 minutes. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was given in 25 patients (3.7%). Conversion thoracotomy was realized in 40 patients (6%). Shorter OT was significantly associated with decreased post-operative overall complication rate (30% vs. 41%; P=0.003), shorter median length of drainage (3 vs. 4 days; P<0.001) and shorter median length of hospital stay (6 vs. 7 days; P<0.001). On multivariable analysis, long OT (≥150 minutes) (OR 1.64, P=0.006), ASA score >2 (OR 1.87, P=0.001), FEV1 <80% (OR 1.47, P=0.046) and DLCO <80% (OR 1.5, P=0.045) were significantly associated with postoperative complications. Two predictors of long OT were identified: neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OR 3.11, P=0.01) and lobectomy (OR 1.5, P=0.032). Conclusions: A prolonged OT is significantly associated with postoperative complications in our collective of patients undergoing VATS anatomical pulmonary resection.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: We assessed the accuracy of 3 validated lobectomy scoring systems to predict prolonged air leak (PAL) in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy. METHODS: We reviewed all consecutive patients who had a VATS segmentectomy between January 2016 and October 2020. We determined PALs on postoperative day 5. These findings were correlated with the calculated Brunelli (gender, age, body mass index [BMI], forced expiratory volume in 1 s < 80 and pleural adhesion), Epithor (gender, location, dyspnoea score, BMI, type of resection and pleural adhesion) and European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) (gender, BMI and forced expiratory volume in 1 s) scores of each patient. RESULTS: A total of 453 patients (mean age: 66.5 years, female/male sex ratio: 226/227) underwent a VATS segmentectomy for malignant (n = 400) and non-malignant (n = 53) disease. Postoperative cardiopulmonary complications and in-hospital mortality rates were 19.6% and 0.4%, respectively. Median chest tube drainage duration and hospital stay were 2 (interquartile range: 1-4) and 4 (interquartile range: 3-7) days, respectively. On day 5, the prevalence of PAL was 14.1%. The ESTS, Brunelli and Epithor scores for the treated population were, respectively, class A (6.8%), class B (3.2%), class C (10.8%) and class D (28.2%); very low and low (0%), moderate (5%), high (6.3%) and very high (21%); and class A (7%), class B (13.2%), class C (24%) and class D (27.8%). All scores correlated with PAL (p ≤ 0.001). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were 0.686, 0.680 and 0.644, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: All 3 scoring systems were correlated with PAL > 5 days following the VATS segmentectomies. ESTS scores seem easier to introduce in clinical practice, but validation by a multicentre cohort is mandatory.

Bronchial atresia (BA) is a rare congenital pulmonary airway malformation. It is characterized by the focal stenosis of a proximal segmental bronchus associated with peripheral mucus impaction and hyperinflation of the obstructed lung segment. Most cases are identified during neonatal period or childhood. When diagnosed in adults, BA may present with recurrent infections, pneumothorax and destruction of affected parenchyma. Thoracoscopic approach to BA has proved challenging in adult patients because of repeated infections and subsequently, its inflammatory status. Herein we present a case of a 26-year-old female with left side recurrent pneumonia and pneumothorax past history. A chest computed tomography revealed a complex congenital bronchial atresia involving the left upper lobe and basal segments, associated to vascular anomalies. She underwent a successful uniportal VATS left upper lobectomy and resection of basal segments. Uniportal VATS approach is an effective and safe treatment for the management of complex congenital lung malformation.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: VATS pulmonary segmentectomy is increasingly proposed as a parenchyma-sparing resection for tumors smaller than 2 cm in diameter. The aim of this study was to compare short-term oncological results and local control in solid non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) <2 cm surgically treated by intentional VATS segmentectomy or lobectomy. METHODS: This study was a single center retrospective study of consecutive patients undergoing VATS lobectomy (VL) or segmentectomy (VS) for solid <2 cm NSCLC from January 2014 to October 2019. Results In total, 188 patients with a median age of 65 years (male/female: 99/89) underwent VS (n = 96) or VL (n = 92). Segmentectomies in the upper lobes were performed in 57% and as a single segment in 55% of cases. There was no statistically significant difference between VS and VL in terms of demographics, comorbidities, postoperative outcomes, dissected lymph node stations (2.89 ± 0.95 vs. 2.93 ± 1, P = 0.58), rate of pN1 (2.2% vs. 2.1%, P = 0.96) or pN2 upstaging (1.09% vs. 1.06%, P = 0.98). Adjuvant chemotherapy was given in 15% of patients in the VL and 11% in the VS group. During follow-up (median: 23 months), no patients presented with local nodal recurrence or on the stapler line (VS group). Three patients on VL and two in VS groups presented with recurrence on the remnant operated lung. New primary pulmonary tumors were diagnosed in 3.3% and 6.3% of patients in the VL and VS groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the short follow-up, our preliminary data shows that local control is comparable for VATS lobectomy and VATS segmentectomy for patients with NSCLC <2 cm.

BACKGROUND: Identification of the prognostic factors of recurrence and survival after single pulmonary metastasectomy (PM). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients who underwent PM for a single lung metastasis between 2003 and 2018. RESULTS: A total of 162 patients with a median age of 64 years underwent single PM. Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) was performed in 83.9% of cases. Surgical resection was achieved by wedge in 73.5%, segmentectomy in 7.4%, lobectomy in 17.9% and pneumonectomy in 1.2% of cases. The median durations of hospital stay and of drainage were 4 days (IQR 3-7) and 1 day (IQR 1-2), respectively. During the follow-up (median 31 months; IQR 15-58), 93 patients (57.4%) presented recurrences and repeated PM could be realized in 35 patients (21.6%) achieved by VATS in 77.1%. Non-colorectal tumour (HR 1.84), age < 70 years (HR 1.77) and previous extra-thoracic metastases (HR 1.61) were identified as prognostic factors of recurrence. Overall survival at 5-year was estimated at 67%. Non-colorectal tumour (HR 2.40) and mediastinal lymph nodes involvement (HR 3.42) were significantly associated with an increased risk of death. CONCLUSIONS: Despite high recurrence rates after PM, surgical resection shows low morbidity rate and acceptable long-term survival, thus should remain the standard treatment for single pulmonary metastases. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The Local Ethics Committee approved the study (No. 2019-02,474) and individual consent was waived.

BACKGROUND: Sleeve lobectomy (SL) is a lung-sparing procedure, which is accepted as a valid operation for centrally-located advanced tumors. These tumors often require induction treatment by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy to downstage the disease and thus facilitate subsequent surgery. However, induction therapy may potentially increase the risk of bronchial anastomotic complications and related morbidity. This meta-analysis aims to determine the impact of induction therapy on the outcomes of pulmonary SL. METHODS: We compared studies of patients undergoing SL or bilobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with and without induction therapy. Outcomes of interest were in-hospital mortality, morbidity, anastomosis complication and 5-year survival. Odds ratio (OR) were computed following the Mantel-Haenszel method. RESULTS: Ten studies were included for a total of 1,204 patients. There was no statistical difference for between patients who underwent induction therapy followed by surgery and patients who underwent surgery alone in term of post-operative mortality (OR: 1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76-4.25, P value =0.19) and morbidity (OR: 1.17, 95% CI: 0.90-1.52, P value =0.237). Anastomosis related complications rate were 5.2% and appears increased after induction therapy with a statistical difference close to the significance (OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 0.97-2.83, P value =0.06). Patients undergoing surgery alone showed better survival at 5 years (OR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.15-2.00, P value =0.003). CONCLUSIONS: SL following induction therapy can be safely performed with no increase of mortality and morbidity. However, the need for induction therapy before surgery is associated with increased anastomotic complications and poorer survival prognosis at 5 years.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Although video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has shortened hospitalization duration for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, the factors associated with early discharge remain unclear. This study aimed to identify patients eligible for a 72-h stay after VATS anatomical resection. METHODS: Monocentric retrospective study including all consecutive patients undergoing VATS anatomical resection for NSCLC between February 2010 and December 2019. Two groups were defined according to the discharge: 'early discharge' (within 72 postoperative hours) and 'routine discharge' (at >72 postoperative hours). RESULTS: A total of 660 patients with a median age of 66.5 years (interquartile range 60-73 years) (female/male: 321/339) underwent VATS anatomical pulmonary resection for NSCLC [segmentectomy in 169 (25.6%), lobectomy in 481 (72.9%), bilobectomy in 8 (1.2%) and pneumonectomy in 2 (0.3%) patients]. The cardiopulmonary and Clavien-Dindo III-IV postoperative complication rates were 32.6% and 7.7%, respectively. The median postoperative length of stay was 6 days (interquartile range 4-10 days). In total, 119 patients (18%) could be discharged within 72 h of surgery. On multivariable analysis, the factors significantly associated with an increased likelihood of early discharge were: body mass index >20 kg/m2 [odds ratio (OR) 2.37], absence of prior cardiopathy (OR 2), diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide >60% (OR 1.82), inclusion in an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol (OR 2.23), use of a single chest tube (OR 5.73) and postoperative transfer to the ward (OR 4.84). Factors significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of early discharge were: age >60 years (OR 0.53), American Society of Anaesthesiologists score >2 (OR 0.46) and use of an epidural catheter (OR 0.41). Readmission rates were not statistically different between both groups (5.9% vs 3.1%; P = 0.17). CONCLUSIONS: Age, pulmonary functions and comorbidities may influence discharge after VATS anatomical resection. The early discharge does not increase readmission rates.

BACKGROUND: This study evaluates the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways on postoperative outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive patients undergoing VATS lobectomy for NSCLC between January 2014 and October 2019 and assigned them to the relevant group ("pre-ERAS" or "ERAS"). Length of stay, readmissions and complications within 30 days were compared between both groups. A propensity score-matched analysis was performed based on sex, age, type of operation, comorbidities, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score and preoperative pulmonary functions. RESULTS: A total of 307 records (164 male/143 female; 140 ERAS/167 pre-ERAS; median age: 67) were reviewed. There was no statistical difference in patient's characteristics. Overall ERAS compliance was 81%. The ERAS group presented significantly shorter length of stay (median 5 vs. 7 days; P=0.004) without significant difference in cardiopulmonary complication rate (27.1% vs. 35.9%; P=0.1). Readmission (3.6% vs. 5.4%; P=0.75) and duration of drainage (median 2 vs. 3 days; P=0.14) were similar between groups. The propensity score-matched analysis showed that the length of hospital stay was reduced by 1.4 days (P=0.034) and the postoperative cardiopulmonary complication rate by 13% (P=0.044) in the ERAS group. CONCLUSIONS: Adoption of an ERAS pathway for VATS lobectomies in NSCLC patients has decreased the length of hospital stay and the cardiopulmonary complication rate without affecting the readmission rate.
RESUMO
Early-stage lung cancer is increasingly being managed by sublobar resection, which offers equivalent oncological results to lobectomy for lesions of less than 2 cm. However, isolated resection of the laterobasal segment (S9) is a difficult procedure and has rarely been reported via a uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) approach. The two key challenges are, first, the segmental arterial supply is deeply located in the lung parenchyma, making the dissection difficult, and second, the cuboidal shape of the lateral basilar segment hampers the identification of the intersegmental plane.

Posterolateral bisegmentectomies of the lower lobe (segments 9 and 10) are challenging procedures when performed by uniportal VATS, primarily for the following reasons: first, the cuboidal shape of the basilar segments makes the identification of the intersegmental plane difficult, and second, the segmental arterial and venous supplies are deeply located and highly variable. The fissure-based dissection, combined with the intersegmental tunneling method, emerges as the safest approach to accomplish accurate identification of the vascular pattern and radical removal of interlobar lymph nodes. The purpose of this video tutorial is to illustrate the technical aspects of the fissure-based uniportal left S9+10 segmentectomy using the intersegmental tunneling method.

Recurrence after pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) is frequent, but it is unclear to whom repeated pulmonary metastasectomy (RPM) offers highest benefits. Retrospective analysis of oncological and post-operative outcomes of consecutive patients who underwent PM from 2003 to 2018. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free interval (DFI) were calculated. Cox regression was used to identify variables influencing OS and DFI. In total, 264 patients (female/male: 114/150; median age: 62 years) underwent PM for colorectal cancer (32%), sarcoma (19%), melanoma (16%) and other primary tumors (33%). Pulmonary metastasectomy was approached by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in 73% and pulmonary resection was realized by non-anatomical resection in 76% of cases. The overall median follow-up time was 33 months (IQR 16-56 months) and overall 5-year survival rate was 62%. Local or distant recurrences were observed in 172 patients (65%) and RPM could be performed in 66 patients (25%) for a total of 116 procedures. RPM was realized by VATS in 49% and pulmonary resection by wedge in 77% of cases. In RPM patients, the 5-year survival rate after first PM was 79%. Post-operative cardio-pulmonary complication rate (13% vs. 12%; p = 0.8) and median length of stay (4 vs. 5 days; p = 0.2) were not statistically different between first PM and RPM. Colorectal cancer (HR 0.56), metachronous metastasis (HR 0.48) and RPM (HR 0.5) were associated with better survival. In conclusion, our results suggest that RPM offers favorable survival rates without increasing post-operative morbidity.

Solitary fibrous tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors most commonly arising from the pleura. When associated with paraneoplastic syndrome of hypoglycemia caused by the secretion of a high-molecular-weight form of insulin-like growth factor II, it is referred to as the Doege-Potter syndrome. Surgery with complete tumor resection is the only curative treatment. We present here the case of a 93-year-old female diagnosed with a Doege-Potter syndrome who underwent three repetitive surgical resections of recurrent solitary fibrous tumor.
