Intraoperative and early surgical complications after VATS lobectomy.
Khirurgiia 2023
OBJECTIVE: To improve the results of thoracoscopic anatomic lung resections (lobectomy) via reducing the incidence of intraoperative and early surgical complications.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study enrolled 479 patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy. We determined the main criteria of complications: injury of vascular structures with severe bleeding, damage of the bronchi and adjacent organs.
RESULTS: Potentially life-threatening conditions requiring additional surgical manipulations (bleeding in 35 patients, bronchial trauma in 3 patients) were diagnosed in 7.9% (38/479) of cases. Vascular injury with severe bleeding occurred in 7.3% of patients ( n =35). Three patients had bronchial trauma (7.9%). We stopped bleeding without thoracotomy in 48.5% (17/35) of patients. In 51.5% (18/35) of cases, emergency thoracotomy was performed.
CONCLUSION: The problem of safety is still urgent despite widespread thoracoscopy in lung resections. Knowledge of the factors contributing to complications and working out appropriate algorithm of actions are of great importance.
