ABSTRACT
Background:
Respiratory impairment can lead to pulmonary complications after surgery; therefore, it should be considered when determining the choice of surgical procedure. Several studies have examined the relationship between preoperative respiratory function and postoperative mortality and morbidity after lung resection; however, there are no indicators for limited surgical procedure selection. The aim of this study was to examine the association between preoperative respiratory function and postoperative early and late complications, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing pulmonary resection for stage I lung cancer.Methods:
We performed a retrospective analysis of data from 192 patients undergoing pulmonary resection for primary pathological stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at the Iwakuni Clinical Center in Japan between 2012 and 2015. We reviewed clinicopathological characteristics including preoperative pulmonary function and elucidated the relationship between them and postoperative survival.Results:
Obstructive ventilatory impairment was present in 55 patients (28.6%), and restrictive ventilatory impairment was present in 31 patients (16.1%). Seven patients (3.6%) had both ventilatory impairment. Obstructive ventilatory impairment did not affect the 5-year RFS (P=0.08) or OS (P=0.21). However, restrictive ventilatory impairment reduced the 5-year RFS (P=0.002) and OS (P=0.009). The rates of early and late complications were not significantly different based on the preoperative respiratory function.Conclusions:
In patients with preoperative restrictive ventilatory impairment in whom lobectomy or segmentectomy cannot be performed, careful consideration is needed for surgical indications.
