Abstract

Improving the quality of lung cancer care at a cost that can be sustained is a hotly debated issue. High-risk, low-volume procedures (such as lung resections) are believed to improve significantly when centralised in high-volume centres. However, limited evidence exists to support volume requirements in lung cancer surgery. On the other hand, there was no evidence that the number of lung resections affected either the short-term perioperative results or the long-term cost. Using data from an extensive nationwide registry, this study investigated the correlations between surgical volumes and selected perioperative outcomes. A retrospective analysis of a prospectively filled national registry that follows stringent quality assurance and security procedures was conducted to ensure data accuracy and security. Patients who underwent VATS lobectomy from 2014 to 2019 at the participating centres were included. Selected perioperative outcomes were reported. Total direct hospital cost is measured at discharge for hospitalisations with a primary diagnosis of lung cancer, hospital stay costs, and postoperative length of hospital stay after lobectomy. After the propensity score matched, centres were divided into three groups according to the surgical volume of the unit where VATS lobectomies were performed (high-volume centre: > 500 lobectomies; medium-volume centre: 200–500 lobectomies; low-volume centre: < 200 lobectomies). 11,347 patients were included and matched (low-volume center = 2890; medium-volume center = 3147; high-volume center = 2907). The mean operative time density plot (Fig. 1A) showed no statistically significant difference (p = 0.67). In contrast, the density plot of the harvested lymph nodes (Fig. 1B) showed significantly higher values in the high-volume centres (p = 0.045), albeit without being clinically significant. The adjusted rates of any and significant complications were higher in the low-volume centre (p = 0.034) without significantly affecting the length of hospital stay (p = 0.57). VATS lobectomies for lung cancer in higher-volume centres seem associated with a statistically significantly higher number of harvested lymph nodes and lower perioperative complications, yet without any significant impact in terms of costs and resource consumption. These findings may advise the investigation of the learning curve effect in a complete economic evaluation of VATS lobectomy in lung cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) increased detection of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs), changing the management based on radiological and clinical factors. When 18-fluorine fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG-PET/CT) was considered for the evaluation of nodules, the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) more than 2.5 is used frequently as a cut off for malignancy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate SUVmax PET/CT and pulmonary attenuation patterns at MSCT in patients with SPN according to morphological and pathological characteristics of the lesion. Methods: A retrospective study on 1,592 SPN patients was carried out following approval by the Italian Registry of VATS Lobectomies. Results: All patients underwent VATS lobectomy. On histologic examination, 98.1% had primary or second metachronous primary lung cancers. In addition, 10.7% presented occult lymph node metastases (pN1 or pN2) on histological examination. Nodule attenuation on CT was associated with the histology of the lesion (p= 0.030); in particular, pure ground glass opacities (pGGOs) and partially solid nodules were related to adenocarcinomatous histotypes. Conversely, a significant relationship between SUVmax and age, nodule size, pathological node status (pN) was found (P=0.007, P=0.000 and P=0.002 respectively). Conclusions: Nodule attenuation can predict the histology of the lesion whereas SUVmax may relate to the propensity to lymph node metastases.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES The Italian VATS Group database was accessed to evaluate whether preoperative and intraoperative factors may affect the safety of lymphadenectomy (LA) during video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy. METHODS All video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy procedures performed between 1 January 2014 and 30 March 2017 for non-small-cell lung cancer with cN0 or cN1 disease were identified in the database. LA safety was evaluated based on intraoperative (operative time, bleeding and conversion rate) and postoperative (30-day morbidity and mortality, chest drain duration and length of stay) outcomes and was correlated with the number of resected lymph nodes and the rates of nodal upstaging. Continuous variables were presented as mean ± standard deviation and compared using the unpaired t-test; the X2 test was used for categorical variables. Univariable analysis was performed on selected variables. Significant variables (P < 0.30) were entered into a Cox multivariable logistic regression model, using the overall and specific occurrence of complications as dependent variables. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was applied as needed. RESULTS A total of 3181 cases (2077 men, 65.3%; mean age of 69 years) met the enrolment criteria. Final pathology was consistent with adenocarcinoma (n = 2262, 67.5%), squamous cell (n = 520, 15.5%), typical (n = 184, 5.5%) and atypical carcinoid (n = 48, 1.4%) and other (n = 335, 10%). The mean number of resected lymph nodes was 13.42 ± 8.24; nodal upstaging occurred in 308 of 3181 (9.68%) cases. Six hundred and fifty-five complications were recorded in 404 (12.7%) patients; in this series, no mortality was observed. Univariable and multivariable analyses did not show any association between the extension of LA and intraoperative or postoperative outcomes. The number of resected lymph nodes and nodal upstagings showed a minimal correlation with intraoperative outcomes and a moderate correlation with postoperative air leak (p = 0.35 and p = 0.48, respectively), arrhythmia (p = 0.29 and p = 0.35, respectively), chest drain duration (p = 0.35 and p = 0.51, respectively) and length of stay (p = 0.35). CONCLUSIONS Based on the VATS Group data, video-assisted thoracic surgery LA proved to be safe and displayed good outcomes even when performed with an extended approach.

Abstract

Background: VATS lobectomy is an established option for the treatment of early-stage NSCLC. Complete lymph node dissection (CD), systematic sampling (SS) or resecting a specific number of lymph nodes (LNs) and stations are possible intra-operative LN management strategies. Methods: All VATS lobectomies from the “Italian VATS Group” prospective database were retrospectively reviewed. The type of surgical approach (CD or SS), number of LN resected (RN), the positive/resected LN ratio (LNR) and the number and types of positive LN stations were recorded. The rates of nodal upstaging were assessed based on different LN management strategies. Results: CD was the most frequent approach (72.3%). Nodal upstaging rates were 6.03% (N0-to-N1), 5.45% (N0-to-N2), and 0.58% (N1-to-N2). There was no difference in N1 or N2 upstaging rates between CD and SS. The number of resected nodes was correlated with both N1 (OR =1.02; CI, 1.01–1.04; P=0.03) and N2 (OR =1.02; CI, 1.01–1.05; P=0.001) upstaging. Resecting 12 nodes had the best ability to predict upstaging (6 N1 LN or 7 N2 LN). The finding of two positive LN stations best predicted N2 upstaging [area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) =0.98]. Conclusions: Nodal upstaging (and, indirectly, the effectiveness of intra-operative nodal management) cannot be predicted based on the surgical technique (CD or SS). A quantitative assessment of intra-operative LN management may be a more appropriate and measurable approach to justify the extension of LN resection during VATS lobectomy.

Abstract

Objectives Vascular injuries are among the most severe causes of unplanned conversion during VATS lobectomies. The study aimed to analyse the incidence of vascular injuries and their risk factors during VATS lobectomy. Methods The Italian VATS lobectomy Registry was used to collect data from 66 Thoracic Surgery Units. From 2013 to October 2016 (out of more than 3,700 patients enrolled) only information from Units with an enrollment >100 VATS lobectomies were retrospectively analysed. Logistic regression analysis was performed on selected variables of the univariate analysis. Results Ten institutions contributed a total of 1,679 patients. Vascular injuries leading to conversion occurred in 44 (2.6%) patients. Years of experiences were inversely related to the risk of vascular injuries. Univariate analysis showed age, gender, surgical activity, Charlson Index Score and number of resected lymph nodes like significantly associated variables. Multivariate analysis revealed that number of resected lymph nodes, VATS experience ratio (number of VATS lobectomies/total lobectomies performed in the same year at same centre), and surgical activity of the centre were significantly associated with the risk of conversion. Unplanned thoracotomy was correlated with postoperative morbidity. Conclusion Vascular injuries in VATS lobectomies represented a rare complication which could directly affect the postoperative outcomes. The predictive factors for conversion were multifactorial and depended on characteristics of centres and surgeons’ seniority. Minimally invasive VATS lobectomy approaches did not influence the risk of vascular damages.

Abstract

Background: Despite greater appreciation for the importance of frailty in surgical patients, due to improved understanding that frailty is often linked to poor outcomes, the optimal method of assessment remains unknown. In this study, we sought to evaluate the prevalence of frailty in patients considered for elective thoracic surgery and to test the ability of several frailty measurements to predict postoperative outcomes., Methods: Patients included were candidates for major elective thoracic surgery. Preoperative assessment of frailty included the Fried frailty phenotype, the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS), the modified frailty index (mFI), the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), and additional components of frailty. Outcome data include days with chest drain, length of hospital stay, and postoperative adverse events., Results: According to the Fried frailty phenotype, 53% of 94 patients included were prefrail or frail. A significant association between frailty and postoperative complications was found (odds ratio 7.65; P=0.001). No association between CFS, mFI, EFS, and complications was observed. The Frailty Phenotype seemed the most accurate in predicting postoperative complications, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.77. Twenty-seven percent of patients meet the criteria for depression according to the Geriatric Depression Scale and they showed a higher risk of postoperative complications (OR 2.47; P=0.03). A lower psoas muscle index was associated with a higher risk of complications (OR 3.40; P=0.04)., Conclusions: According to our results, the Fried frailty phenotype seems the most accurate tool to test frailty in patients undergoing thoracic resections. Surgeons should be aware that, although these aspects are not routinely tested, they are potential targets to improve clinical outcomes. Studies on additional interventions specifically targeting frail people in the setting of elective thoracic surgery are required., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest: All authors have completed the ICMJE uniform disclosure form (available at https://jtd.amegroups.com/article/view/10.21037/jtd-23-963/coif).

Abstract

Background: Pleural drainage is required after pulmonary lobectomy to evacuate air-leak and fluid. We compared the performance of the new Redax ® Coaxial Drain (CD) (Redax, Mirandola, Italy) with a standard chest tube (CT) in terms of fluid and air-leak evacuation., Methods: Fifty-two patients receiving a 24-F CD under water-seal after pulmonary lobectomy through open surgery or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) were matched according to demographic, clinical and pathological variables with 104 patients receiving a 24-F CT. Fluid evacuation and post-operative day 0 (POD0) fluid evacuation rate, air-leak rate, tension pneumothorax or increasing subcutaneous emphysema, tube occlusion at removal, visual analog scale (VAS) score at rest and during cough, chest drain duration, pleural fluid accumulation or residual pleural cavity after tube removal, post-operative morbidity and mortality rate were recorded and compared between the two groups., Results: No differences were recorded in post-operative morbidity and mortality rates. Fluid drainage rates on POD0 were significantly higher in CD group (73% vs . 48%; P=0.004); air-leak occurrence was similar in both groups and no differences were recorded in terms of tension pneumothorax or increasing subcutaneous emphysema rates; VAS score was lower for CD when compared with CT and it reached significant difference in the subgroups of patients operated on by VATS; no cases of occlusion at removal were recorded in CD patient., Conclusions: Redax ® CD is safe and efficient in air-leak and fluid evacuation; due to its design and constituting material it is superior to standard CTs in terms of fluid evacuation rate and patient post-operative comfort., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest: The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.
