Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Objective Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) can be associated with neurologic, arterial, or venous deficiencies. When nonsurgical treatment has failed to adequately palliate TOS, surgical intervention is indicated. The supraclavicular and transaxillary approaches are currently the most commonly used approaches for first rib resection, yet little has been reported to date on outcomes of minimally invasive procedures, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The purpose of this article was to describe a minimally invasive approach to TOS and the associated outcomes. Methods This study is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database. Patients who failed nonsurgical therapy for TOS were referred to our practice for evaluation of surgery with a VATS minimally invasive first rib resection. Between 2001 and 2010, 66 VATS procedures were performed on 58 patients (41 women, 17 men). Patients were followed postoperatively for a mean time of 13.5 months. Results Forty-one patients were women (70.7%), and the mean age was 40.5 years, with a patient age range of 17 to 59 years. The mean length of hospital stay was 2.47 days; median length of stay was 2 days. There were a total of eight complications (12.1%). There were no mortalities. Conclusions Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery first rib resection for TOS is another feasible option for TOS, which can be added to the armamentarium of the thoracic surgeon. The outcomes associated with our technique are comparable with the outcomes related to other current standards of care.

Lung hernias are rare and are most commonly secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma. Few cases have been reported after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and only one case after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy. We report a case of lung hernia after video-assisted, thoracoscopic, right upper lobectomy. The hernia was demonstrated by computerized tomography and repaired by minimally invasive techniques. We believe that the combination of removal of a large lung specimen and the presence of emphysema may predispose to lung herniation after thoracoscopic lobectomy. Thoracic surgeons should be aware of this possible complication.

Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Following its introduction in 1992, the growth of minimally invasive thoracic surgery was initially hampered by the lack of specialized instruments, impeded visualization and stapling. However, in subsequent years these challenges were somewhat overcome and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) became the preferred modality of many centers. More recently, robotic surgery has come to the fore. Whilst it offers outstanding precision via robotic wristed instruments, robotic surgery is expensive and has safety implications as the surgeon is away from the patient's side. Wristed VATS instruments offer a new, exciting alternative. By placing the robotic-like wristed instruments in the hands of the surgeon, a concept we call surgeon-powered robotics, the benefits of robotic surgery can be achieved by the patient's side. We describe our experience of the ArtiSential® wristed instruments and discuss the benefits and challenges of this technology. By combining wristed instruments with the latest surgeon-controlled 3D camera technology, surgeon-powered robotics is an affordable reality.
