Video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy combined with minimally invasive pulmonary resection for left-sided lung cancer: feasibility and clinical impacts on surgical outcomes†.
OBJECTIVES Although video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy (VAMLA) has greatly increased the accuracy of mediastinal staging, its clinical value as a therapeutic tool for complete mediastinal lymph node dissection in the treatment of left-sided lung cancer is not well elucidated. METHODS We identified the consecutive 649 patients with left-sided lung cancer undergoing minimally invas...
متن کاملThoracotomy is better than thoracoscopic lobectomy in the lymph node dissection of lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate which surgical method is better in lymph node (LN) dissection of lung cancer. METHODS A comprehensive search of PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar was performed to identify studies comparing thoracoscopic lobectomy (video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) group) and th...
متن کاملEsophageal stripping creates a clear operative field for lymph node dissection along the left recurrent laryngeal nerve in prone video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
We describe a 54-year-old man in whom esophageal carcinoma was diagnosed and who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery of the esophagus (VATS-E) in the prone position. Initially, the patient was fixed in a semiprone position, from which he could be rotated to a prone or left lateral position. Four ports were inserted, and then the patient was rotated to the prone position. Once the pat...
متن کاملSingle-port video-assisted thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy using a flexible videoscope.
Single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has recently been proposed as an innovative minimally invasive alternative to the standard three-port VATS for lobectomies, most of which are performed using a conventional rigid thoracoscope. Here, we report a single-port VATS approach for right upper lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection using a flexible endoscope. A 61-year-old...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracic surgery versus thoracotomy for non-small-cell lung cancer.
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been recommended as more optimal surgical technique than traditional thoracotomy for lobectomy in lung cancer, but it is not well defined. Here, we compared VATS and traditional thoracotomy based on clinical data. From November 2008 to November 2010, 180 patients underwent lobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCL) identified by computerized tomog...
