The aim of this study was to assess the experience with video-assisted thoracic surgery for the resection of pulmonary nodules.
This voluntary registry (20 centers) included 388 patients with either benign (n = 171) or malignant (n = 217) pulmonary nodules. Pulmonary nodules were located using computed tomography scan-guided injection of methylene blue (59 patients) and hook wire technique (17 patients).
Video-assisted thoracic surgery was converted into thoracotomy in 67 patients (17%) because of technical-emergency in 4, inability to complete resection in 33, and the need to perform lobectomy for cancer through thoracotomy in 30. In other patients, video-assisted thoracic surgery allowed wedge resection in 300 cases and lobectomy in 21 cases. No intraoperative and two postoperative deaths (0.56%) occurred. The complication rate was 8% (n = 31). Mean durations of chest tube placement and hospital stay were 3.3 days (range, 1 to 20 days) and 6 days (range, 1 to 25 days), respectively. Video-assisted thoracic surgery was judged by the surgeon to be a diagnostic procedure 226 times (58%) and a therapeutic procedure 162 times (42%).
Video-assisted thoracic surgery appears to be safe and remains mainly a diagnostic procedure for malignant tumors.
本研究旨在评估电视辅助胸腔镜手术切除肺结节的经验。
这个自愿登记研究(20个中心)纳入了388例患有良性(n = 171)或恶性(n = 217)肺结节的患者。通过计算机断层扫描引导注射亚甲蓝(59例患者)和钩丝技术(17例患者)来定位肺结节。
67例患者(17%)中转开胸手术,其中4例因技术紧急情况,33例因无法完成切除,30例因需通过开胸行癌症肺叶切除术。在其他患者中,电视辅助胸腔镜手术300例行楔形切除术,21例行肺叶切除术。术中无死亡,术后2例死亡(0.56%)。并发症发生率为8%(n = 31)。胸腔引流管放置的平均时间和住院时间分别为3.3天(范围1至20天)和6天(范围1至25天)。外科医生认为电视辅助胸腔镜手术226次(58%)为诊断性操作,162次(42%)为治疗性操作。
电视辅助胸腔镜手术似乎是安全的,并且主要仍然是恶性肿瘤的诊断性操作。
