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 کاملStaple Line Failure Using the Proximate® 100 mm Linear Cutter
PURPOSE An incomplete linear staple line that was discovered during the stapling of an ileal pouch alerted us to evaluate potential usage concerns with linear cutters. This study was designed to assess the integrity of the staple line of three different sizes of linear staplers. METHODS In an animal model three different lengths of linear cutters (Proximate, Ethicon Endo-Surgery) were used to...
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...
