Non-grasping en bloc mediastinal lymph node dissection for video-assisted thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery
BACKGROUND This study aims to introduce an optimized method named "non-grasping en bloc mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND)" through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). METHODS Between February 2009 and July 2013, 402 patients with clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) underwent "non-grasping en bloc MLND" conducted by one surgical team. Target lymph nodes (LNs) we...
متن کاملThoracoscopic mediastinal lymph node dissection using an endoscopic spacer.
Although fewer lymph nodes are dissected with video-assisted thoracic surgery than with open lobectomy, thoracoscopic lobectomy is increasingly becoming the preferred surgical approach for early-stage lung cancers. The endoscopic surgical spacer SECUREA™ is a medical device that has been effectively employed in laparoscopic surgery, but no study has evaluated its efficacy in thoracoscopic surge...
متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracoscopic Management of Mediastinal Tumors
BACKGROUND Many successful attempts at removing benign mediastinal tumors with the video-assisted thoracoscopic technique have been reported, but no formal report has been published regarding malignant mediastinal tumors treated with this technique. We report our preliminary experience with video-assisted thoracoscopic removal of mediastinal tumors, benign or malignant. METHODS Seven patients...
متن کاملMediastinal lymph node dissection in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer: totally thoracoscopic vs thoracotomy.
OBJECTIVES Although major pulmonary resections for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are more and more frequently performed through thoracoscopy, the adequacy of lymphadenectomy achieved via this approach is still questioned. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of lymph node dissection (LND) during totally thoracoscopic (TT) major pulmonary resections. METHODS Clini...
متن کاملContralateral mediastinal lymph node micrometastases assessed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in stage I non-small cell left lung cancer.
OBJECTIVES Survival of patients with left-sided stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unsatisfactory, probably because of the high incidence of contralateral mediastinal node involvement. In this study, occult micrometastases to the right upper mediastinal nodes were retrospectively investigated in patients with left-sided stage I NSCLC. METHODS Nineteen patients with clinical stage I...
