The impact of thoracic surgical access on early shoulder function: video-assisted thoracic surgery versus posterolateral thoracotomy.
OBJECTIVE Whether video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is associated with less shoulder dysfunction when compared with posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT) remains unclear. We therefore conducted this prospective study to assess the shoulder function in patients following major lung resection using either the VATS or PLT approach. METHODS Twenty-nine consecutive patients were prospectively recr...
متن کاملCost analysis of video-assisted thoracic surgery versus thoracotomy: critical review.
Cost containment has become an important issue in thoracic surgery. Applying the principles of evidence-based medicine a literature search was performed to determine whether video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has an advantage over thoracotomy concerning total cost. Only eight studies specifically looked at cost; all but one were retrospective. Lung biopsy by VATS yielded higher operating ro...
متن کاملSleeve lobectomy by video-assisted thoracic surgery versus thoracotomy for non-small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND Both video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy are used for sleeve lobectomy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This retrospective study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of VATS sleeve lobectomy for NSCLC patients. METHODS Between May 2009 and May 2013, 51 sleeve lobectomies (10 by VATS and 41 by thoracotomy) were performed for patients with N...
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...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracic surgery complications
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a miniinvasive technique commonly applied worldwide. Indications for VATS are very broad and include the diagnosis of mediastinal, lung and pleural diseases, as well as large resection procedures such as pneumonectomy. The most frequent complication is prolonged postoperative air leak. The other significant complications are bleeding, infections, postop...
