Abstract Background Compared to lobectomy by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), segmentectomy by VATS has a potential higher risk of postoperative atelectasis and air leakage. We compared postoperative complications between these two procedures, and analyzed their risk factors. Methods We reviewed the records of all patients who underwent anatomical pulmonary resections by VATS from January 2014 to March 2018 in two Swiss university hospitals. All complications were reported. A logistic regression model was used to compare the risks of complications for the two interventions. Adjustment for patient characteristics was performed using a propensity score, and by including risk factors separately. Results Among 690 patients reviewed, the major indication for lung resection was primary lung cancer (86.4%) followed by metastasis resection (5.8%), benign lesion (3.9%), infection (3.2%) and emphysema (0.7%). Postoperatively, there were 80 instances (33.3%) of complications in 240 segmentectomies, and 171 instances (38.0%) of complications in 450 lobectomies (P = 0.73). After adjustment for the patient’s propensity to be treated by segmentectomy rather than lobectomy, the risks of a complication remained comparable for the two techniques (odds ratio for segmentectomy 0.91 (0.61–1.30), p = 0.59). Length of hospital stay and drainage duration were shorter after segmentectomy. On multivariate analysis, an American Society of Anesthesiologists score above 2 and a forced expiratory volume in one second below 80% of predicted value were significantly associated with the occurrence of complications. Conclusions The rate of complications and their grade were similar between segmentectomy and lobectomy by VATS.

Įvadas / tikslasPleuros empiema – viena iš seniausiai žinomų krūtinės ligų ir iki šiol yra susijusi su didėjančiu sergamumu visame pasaulyje. Kaip ir daugelyje chirurgijos sričių, gydant pūlinėmis pleuros ligomis sergančius ligonius populiarėja minimaliai invazinės chi­rurginės procedūros. Tačiau torakoskopinė operacija vis dar negali pakeisti atvirosios visais empiemų atvejais. Šiame straips­nyje supažindiname su mūsų atliekamų torakoskopinių pleuros empiemos operacijų metodika ir aptariame pradinę patirtį.Ligoniai ir metodaiNuo 2011 m. sausio iki 2013 m. rugsėjo torakoskopiškai buvo operuoti 49 ligoniai, sergantys pleuros empiema. Visi pacientai operuoti sukėlus bendrinę nejautrą, naudojant vieno plaučio ventiliaciją. Visos torakoskopinės operacijos buvo padarytos per dvi arba tris angas krūtinėje. Tais atvejais, kai sėkmingai atlikti torakoskopiniu būdu empiemektomijos nepavykdavo, būdavo pereinama į atvirąją (torakotominę) operaciją.RezultataiSėkmingai videotorakoskopinė operacija buvo atlikta 36 (73,5 %) ligoniams, o 13 (26,5 %) atvejų prireikė konversijos į atvirą operaciją. Pleuros ertmės sąaugos ir negalėjimas iki galo pašalinti ant plaučio paviršiaus susidariusio jį kaustančio šarvo buvo pagrindinės konversijų priežastys. Dešimt (20 %) ligonių patyrė tokių pooperacinių komplikacijų kaip ligos atkrytis, ilgesnį laiką besiskiriantis pro drenus oras, žaizdos infekcija.IšvadosPleuros empiemos atveju minimaliai invazinė chirurgija yra saugi ir pakankamai efektyvi. Tačiau turėtume ieškoti tam tikrų veiksnių, kurie padėtų atrinkti asmenis, tinkamus sėkmingai torakoskopinei pleuros empiemos operacijai.Reikšminiai žodžiai: pleuros empiema, piotoraksas, videoasistuojamoji krūtinės chirurgija, empiemektomija, dekortikacija Successful video-assisted thoracic surgery for pleural empyemaŽymantas Jagelavičius, Vytautas Jovaišas, Algis Kybartas, Arūnas Žilinskas, Lina Lukoševičiūtė, Ričardas Janilionis, Narimantas Evaldas Samalavičius Background / ObjectiveFew thoracic conditions present such a considerable challenge as does pleural empyema. The disease is known since Hip­pocrates’ time, nonetheless it is still associated with the rising incidence all over the world. Minimally invasive procedures be­come more and more popular in many fields of surgery as well as in patients with pleural empyema. However, video-assisted thoracoscopy cannot replace open surgery in all empyema cases. In this report, we would like to present our thoracoscopic technique and preliminary experience in treating patients with pleural empyema.Patients and methodsDuring the period from January 2011 till September 2013, thoracoscopic empyemectomy was performed in 49 patients. All patients were operated on under general anaesthesia using single lung ventilation. All procedures were performed through two or three ports. Conversion to thoracotomy was performed when it was impossible to make successfully thoracoscopic empyemectomy.ResultsA video-assisted thoracoscopic operation was successful in 36 (73.5%) patients, whereas in 13 (26.5 %) cases a conversion was required. Pleural space adhesions and inability to remove completely the peel from the underlying lung were the main reasons for conversion. Ten (20%) patients had postoperative complications such as recurrence of disease, prolonged air leak, or wound infection.ConclusionsMinimally invasive surgery is a safe and effective treating of patients with pleural empyema. However, we should search for preoperative factors of identifying the right persons who could be cured successfully by video-assisted thoracoscopic sur­gery.Key words: pleural empyema, pyothorax, video-assisted thoracic surgery, empyemectomy, debridement, decortication
