Final Followup

The present study evaluated the outcome of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in 9 patients (males = 6, females = 3) with clinico-radiological diagnosis of tubercular spondylitis of the dorsal spine. The mean duration of surgery was 140.88 ± 20.09 minutes, mean blood was 417.77 ± 190.90 mL, and mean duration of postoperative hospital stay was 5.77 ± 0.97 days, Seven patients had a preoperative Grade A neurological involvement, while at the time of final followup the only deficit was Grade D power in 2 patients. In patients without bone graft placement (n= 6), average increase in Kyphosis angle was 16°, while in patients with bone graft placement (n= 3) the deformity remained stationary. At the time of final follow up, fusion was achieved in all patients, the VAS score for back pain improved from a pretreatment score of 8.3 to 2, and the function assessment yielded excellent (n= 4) to good (n= 5) results. In two patients minithoracotomy had to be resorted due to extensive pleural adhesions (n= 1) or difficulty in placement of graft (n= 1). Videoassisted thoracoscopic surgery provides a safe and effective approach in the management of spinal tuberculosis. It has the advantages of decreased blood loss and post operative morbidity with minimal complications.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Tubeless uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), using a uniportal approach and non-intubated anaesthesia while avoiding postoperative chest drain insertion, for patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery has been demonstrated to be feasible in selected cases. However, to date, the safety of the procedure has not been studied. METHODS We reviewed consecutive patients undergoing non-intubated uniportal VATS for pulmonary wedge resection at 2 medical centres between August 2016 and October 2019. The decision to avoid chest drain insertion was made in selected candidates. For those candidates in whom a tubeless procedure was performed, postoperative chest X-rays (CXRs) were taken on the day of the surgery [operation (OP) day], on postoperative day 1 and 1–2 weeks later. The factors associated with abnormal CXR findings were studied. RESULTS Among 135 attempts to avoid chest drain insertion, 13 (9.6%) patients ultimately required a postoperative chest drain. Among 122 patients in which a tubeless procedure was performed, 26 (21.3%) and 47 (38.5%) had abnormal CXR findings on OP day and postoperative day 1, respectively. Among them, 3 (2.5%) patients developed clinically significant abnormal CXRs and required intercostal drainage. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax was independently associated with a higher risk of postoperative abnormal CXRs. CONCLUSIONS Tubeless uniportal VATS for pulmonary wedge resection can be safely performed in selected patients. Most patients with postoperative abnormal CXRs presented subclinical symptoms that spontaneously resolved; only 2.5% of patients with postoperative abnormal CXRs required drainage.

Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been widely used and confirmed to be effective and less invasive compared with conventional open surgery. Robotic video-assisted thoracic surgery (R-VATS) is VATSusing a surgeon-controlled robotic system. R-VATS has been increasingly performed worldwide but not in Vietnam. Wehave started implementing r-VATS since July 2018, using conventional thoracoscopic accesses (trocars) and reported our initial results after 18 months of implementation with 116 cases. 57 cases of lobectomy, 9 cases of wedge resection,19 cases of thymectomy, 28 cases of mediastinal tumour resection, 1 case of esophagectomy, 1 case of oesophageal leiomyoma resection, and 1 case of diaphragm plication. 110 cases had good outcomes with no complications, 5 cases suffered from haemothorax that lasted for more than 5 days. Onepatient died after 35 days due to pneumonia. The operation time was comparable to that ofc- VATS. Average time to chest tube removal was 2 days. Time from surgery to discharge was comparable to that ofc-VATS.

Absztrakt: Bevezetés: Közleményünkben ismertetjük a 2013–2019 közötti időszakban osztályunkon minimálisan invazív módszerrel (video-assisted thoracic surgery – VATS) elvégzett tüdőlobectomiák során szerzett tapasztalatainkat, eredményeinket. Betegek és módszer: 2013. november 1. és 2019. június 30. közötti időszakban osztályunkon 112 VATS lobectomiát végeztünk. A műtéteket izolált intubációval altatott betegeken elülső behatolás technikával végeztük. 98 betegnél malignus, 9 betegnél benignus elváltozás miatt történtek a műtétek. 10 esetben a műtét utáni szövettani diagnózis metasztázis volt. 78 férfi és 34 nőbetegen végeztük a műtéteket. A betegek átlagéletkora 60,5 (42–63) év volt. Az eltávolított lebenyek megoszlása a következő volt: bal felső: 5, bal alsó: 36, Jobb felső: 15, középső: 11, jobb alsó: 44, pulmonectomia: 1. Eredmények: Műtéti halálozás nem volt. Konverzióra 3 alkalommal kényszerültünk. Az átlagos műtéti idő 150 (70–215) perc volt. Reoperációt 2 betegnél végeztünk, vérzés, légáteresztés miatt. A 112 műtét során 88 betegnél primer tüdőrák, 9 betegnél jóindulatú elváltozás/gyulladás miatt történt a műtét. 10 esetben más szerv tumora miatti metasztázis miatt végeztük a beavatkozásokat. A primer tüdőrák miatt végzett műtétek stádium szerinti megoszlása a szövettani eredmények alapján a következő volt: I.a: 57, I.b: 22, II.a: 6, II.b: 3. A szövettani típus szerinti megoszlás: adenocarcinoma: 52, laphámrák: 23, kissejtes carcinoma: 2, nagysejtes carcinoma: 5, carcinoid: 6 volt. Következtetés: Osztályunkon a szükséges tanuló időszak után a VATS lobectomia megfelelő indikáció szerint rutin műtéti eljárássá vált. Jelenleg mellkasi műtéteink 65%-a, a lobectomiák több mint 50%-a VATS technikával történik. Eredményeink az országos és az irodalmi adatoknak megfelelnek.
