Thoracoscopic Lobectomy
Increasingly, evidence suggests that thoracoscopic lobectomy can be performed with similar, if not reduced, morbidity and equivalent oncologic outcomes when compared with open lobectomy [1-5]. Despite the potential advantages of minimally invasive surgery, only 20% of pulmonary resections are currently completed in the United States using the thoracoscopic technique [6]. There are still several...
متن کاملLearning thoracoscopic lobectomy.
OBJECTIVE Thoracoscopic (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)) lobectomy is a safe and effective method for treating early-stage lung cancer. Despite this, it is still not widely practised, which could be due to a shallow learning curve. We have evaluated the surgical outcome in a training programme at an institution with an established VATS lobectomy programme. We present the surgical d...
متن کاملTreatment of a densely fused fissure during thoracoscopic right middle lobectomy
Aim: To report a case of fused fissure between the right upper and middle lobes that we treated using a surgical stapler rather than a Ligasure device for the benefit of creating a better division between the right upper and middle lobes and to effectively seal the lung parenchyma. Case: A 2-year-old girl with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the right middle lobe (RML) was referre...
متن کاملTroubleshooting thoracoscopic anterior mediastinal surgery: lessons learned from thoracoscopic lobectomy.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy is safe, oncologically effective, and increasingly utilized for lung cancer resection. Lessons from VATS lobectomy experience can guide the use of a VATS approach to resect mediastinal masses. Exposure and dissection when using VATS to resect anterior mediastinal masses has unique challenges. Several maneuvers acquired from experience with V...
متن کاملThoracoscopic-assisted lobectomy. Preliminary experience and results.
A preliminary report is made on the use of videothoracoscopy to achieve pulmonary lobectomy in 16 patients, including 12 with centrally located pulmonary metastases and 4 with benign lesions (3 bronchiectases and 1 endobronchial hamartoma). Videothoracoscopy was performed on eight right-lower lobes, one middle lobe, two right-upper lobes, four left-lower lobes, and one left-upper lobe with a th...
