Abstract Background We demonstrated the safety and feasibility of image-guided video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (iVATS) of bilateral lung lesions in a hybrid operating room. Methods This study was a retrospective analysis of a case series. A total of 7 patients with 15 small lung nodules underwent bilateral iVATS between July 2018 and May 2019. All procedures were completed within a single anesthesia procedure and performed in a hybrid operating room that had a cone-beam computed tomography (CT) apparatus equipped with a laser navigation system. The lesion characteristics, operation methods, and peri-operative clinical outcomes were summarized. Results A total of 7 patients with 15 resected lung nodules were analyzed. The most common pathological result of our bilateral iVATS was metastasis. The median length of hospital stay was 5 days (range from 3 to 10 days). The median right chest tube duration was 2 days (range from 1 to 8 days), and the median left chest tube duration was 3 days (range from 2 to 5 days). Only one patient had a complication during his hospitalization period. There was no surgery-related mortality observed. Conclusions The bilateral iVATS procedure seems to be a feasible, safe and cost-effective approach for successful resection of bilateral lung lesions.

Absztrakt Célkitűzés: A myasthenia gravis (MG) kezelésében számos nyitott, illetve minimálisan invazív thymectomia ismert. A tanulmány ugyanazon intézeten belül a transsternalis (TS), illetve kétféle minimálisan invazív thymectomia (video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy – VATET; unilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery – UL-VATS) eredményeit hasonlítja össze. Anyag és módszerek: Három különböző időintervallumban 71 betegnél történt thymectomia MG miatt (60 nő, 11 férfi): 23 transsternalis thymectomia (1995. január–2004. szeptember), 22 VATET (2004. szeptember – 2009. augusztus) és 26 UL-VATS thymectomia (2009. szeptember – 2011. december). Az eredmények értékelésénél a műtéti idő, MG-hez társuló neurológiai és a műtét utáni sebészi szövődmények, valamint az MG státuszában az egyéves utánkövetéskor észlelt neurológiai változások szerepeltek. Eredmények: Perioperatív mortalitás nem fordult elő. A műtéti idő 112, 211, 116 perc (p = 0,001), a kórházi napok száma: 8,9, 5,6 és 4 nap (p = 0,001) volt a TS-, VATET- és UL-VATS-csoportban. Az MG-hez kapcsolódó postoperativ neurológiai szövődmények 21,7%, 18,2% és 7,7% (p = 0,365) értékeket mutattak. A sebészi szövődmény 4,3%, 13,7%, 0% (p = 0,118) volt. Az MG tüneteinek javulása 91,3%, 94,7%, 87,5% (p = 0,712), míg komplett remisszió 13%, 10,5%, 11,5% (p = 0,917) volt a TS-, VATET- és UL-VATS-csoportokban. Következtetések: A műtéti idő, valamint a kórházban eltöltött napok száma UL-VATS esetében volt a legrövidebb. A kisebb sebészi beavatkozáshoz alacsonyabb sebészi, illetve MG-s neurológiai szövődmények társultak. Az MG-tünetek javulásában mindhárom módszernél kiváló eredményt értek el.

Abstract Objective To investigate whether laryngeal mask anesthesia had more favorable postoperative outcomes than double-lumen tube intubation anesthesia in uniportal thoracoscopic thymectomy. Methods Data were collected retrospectively from December 2013 to December 2017. A total of 96 patients with anterior mediastinum mass underwent nonintubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy with laryngeal mask, and 129 patients underwent intubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy. A single incision of ∼3 cm was made in an intercostal space along the anterior axillary line. Perioperative outcomes between nonintubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NU-VATS) and intubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (IU-VATS) were compared. Results In both groups, incision size was kept to a minimum, with a median of 3 cm, and complete thymectomy was performed in all patients. Mean operative time was 61 minutes. The mean lowest SpO2 during operation was not significantly different. However, the mean peak end-tidal carbon dioxide in the NU-VATS group was higher than in the IU-VATS group. Mean chest tube duration in NU-VATS group was 1.9 days. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.5 days, with a range of 1 to 4 days. Time to oral fluid intake in the NU-VATS group was significantly less than in the IU-VATS group (p < 0.01). Several complications were significantly less in the NU-VATS group than in the IU-VATS group, including sore throat, nausea, irritable cough, and urinary retention. Conclusion Compared with intubated approach, nonintubated uniportal thoracoscopic thymectomy with laryngeal mask is feasible for anterior mediastinum lesion, and patients recovered faster with less complications.

Abstract Background Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) and Rhomboid intercostal block with sub-serratus plane block (RISS) are the two types of plane blocks used for postoperative analgesia after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This prospective randomized controlled trial was performed to analyze the postoperative analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided RIB block and RISS block after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Methods Ninety patients aged between 18 and 80 years, with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Classes I–II and scheduled for elective unilateral VATS were randomly allocated into three groups. In group C, no block intervention was performed. Patients in group RIB received ultrasound-guided RIB with 20-mL 0.375% ropivacaine and those in group RISS received ultrasound-guided RIB and serratus plane block using a total of 40-mL 0.375% ropivacaine. All patients received intravenous sufentanil patient-controlled analgesia upon arrival in the recovery room. Postoperative sufentanil consumption and pain scores were compared among the groups. Results The dosages of sufentanil consumption at 24 h after the surgery in the RIB and RISS groups were significantly lower than that in group C (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001 for all comparisons, respectively), the postoperative Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores in the RIB and RISS groups at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 h after surgery when patients were at rest or active were significantly lower than that in group C (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). The required dosage of sufentanil and time to first postoperative analgesic request in groupRISS were less than those in the group RIB at 24 h after the surgery (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001 for all comparisons, respectively). Similarly, the Numerical Rating Scale scores for group RISS at 12, 18, and 24 h after the surgery when the patients were active were significantly lower than those for group RIB (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). Conclusion Both ultrasound-guided RIB block and RISS block can effectively reduce the demand for sufentanil within 24 h after VATS, and less sufentanil dosage is needed in patient with RISS block. Ultrasound-guided RIB block and RISS block can effectively relieve pain within 24 h after VATS, and RISS block is more effective.
