J Surg Res 2024; 296:674-680. [PMID: 38359682 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2024.01.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive approaches to lung resection have become widely acceptable and more recently, segmentectomy has demonstrated equivalent oncologic outcomes when compared to lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, studies comparing outcomes following segmentectomy by different surgical approaches are lacking. Our objective was to investigate the outcomes of patients undergoing robotic, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), or open segmentectomy for NSCLC using the National Cancer Database. METHODS NSCLC patients with clinical stage I who underwent segmentectomy from 2010 to 2016 were identified. After propensity-score matching (1:4:1), multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine predictors of 30-d readmissions, 90-d mortality, and overall survival. RESULTS 22,792 patients met study inclusion. After matching, approaches included robotic (n = 2493; 17%), VATS (n = 9972; 66%), and open (n = 2493; 17%). An open approach was associated with higher 30-d readmissions (7% open versus 5.5% VATS versus 5.6% robot, P = 0.033) and 90-d mortality (4.4% open versus 2.2% VATS versus 2.5% robot, P < 0.001). A robotic approach was associated with improved 5-y survival (50% open versus 58% VATS versus 63% robot, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS For patients with clinical stage I NSCLC undergoing segmentectomy, compared to the open approach, a VATS approach was associated with lower 30-d readmission and 90-d mortality. A robotic approach was associated with improved 5-y survival compared to open and VATS approaches when matched. Additional studies are necessary to determine if unrecognized covariates contribute to these differences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive sub-lobectomy is sufficient in treating small early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, comparison of the feasibility and oncologic efficacy between robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in performing sub-lobectomy for early-stage NSCLC patients age 80 years or older is scarce. METHODS Octogenarians with clinical stage IA NSCLC (tumor size, ≤ 2 cm) undergoing minimally invasive wedge resection or segmentectomy at Shanghai Chest Hospital from 2011 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed from a prospectively maintained database. Propensity score-matching (PSM) with a RATS versus VATS ratio of 1:4 was performed. Perioperative and long-term outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS The study identified 594 patients (48 RATS and 546 VATS patients), and PSM resulted in 45 cases in the RATS group and 180 cases in the VATS group. The RATS patients experienced less intraoperative bleeding (60 mL [interquartile range (IQR), 50-100 mL] vs. 80 mL [IQR, 50-100 mL]; P = 0.027) and a shorter postoperative hospital stay (4 days [IQR, 3-5 days] vs. 5 days [IQR, 4-6 days]; P = 0.041) than the VATS patients. The two surgical approaches were comparable concerning other perioperative outcomes and postoperative complications (20.00% vs. 26.11%; P = 0.396). Additionally, during a median follow-up period of 66 months, RATS and VATS achieved comparable 5-year overall survival (90.48% vs. 87.93%; P = 0.891), recurrence-free survival (83.37% vs. 83.18%; P = 0.782), and cumulative incidence of death. Further subgroup comparison also demonstrated comparable long-term outcomes between the two approaches. Finally, multivariate Cox analysis indicated that the surgical approach was not independently correlated with long-term outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The RATS approach shortened the postoperative hospital stay, reduced intraoperative bleeding by a statistically notable but clinically insignificant amount, and achieved long-term outcomes comparable with VATS in performing sub-lobectomy for octogenarians with early-stage small NSCLC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We sought to assess the prevalence and clinical predictors of satellite nodules in patients undergoing lobectomy for clinical stage Ia disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS The National Cancer Database was queried for patients who underwent lobectomy for clinical stage cT1N0 NSCLC. Collaborative staging information was used to identify patients who were pathologically upstaged based on having separate tumor nodules in the same lobe as the primary tumor. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association of clinical factors with the detection of separate nodules. RESULTS A separate tumor nodule was recorded in 2.8% (n = 1284) of 45,842 clinical stage Ia patients treated with lobectomy or bilobectomy. Female gender (3.1% vs. male 2.5%; P = .002) and non-squamous histology (adenocarcinoma 3.2% and large cell neuroendocrine 3.0% vs. squamous cell 1.9% tumors; P < .001) were associated with the presence of separate nodules. The frequency increased for tumors larger than 3 cm (≤ 3cm, 2.7% vs. > 3cm, 3.8%; P < .001). Other factors associated with separate nodules were upper lobe location, pleural and/or lymphovascular invasion and occult lymph node disease. The best predictive model for separate nodules based on the available clinical variables resulted in an area under the curve of 0.645 (95% CI 0.629-0.660). CONCLUSION Separate tumor nodules may be detected with a low but relatively consistent frequency across the spectrum of patients with clinical stage Ia NSCLC. The predictive ability using basic clinical factors in the database is limited.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Segmentectomy has become an accepted procedure for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Adequate lymph node sampling, sufficient margins, and proper tumor size selection are factors vital for achieving outcomes comparable to lobectomy. Previous studies have demonstrated poor adherence to lymph node sampling guidelines. However, national trends in the quality of segmentectomy and implications on survival are unknown. METHODS The National Cancer Database was used to identify patients with clinical stage I to IIA non-small cell lung cancer surgically treated between 2004 and 2018. Facility-level trends in extent of resection and segmentectomy odds of adherence to (1) 2014 Commission on Cancer guidelines of sampling 10 or more lymph nodes, (2) negative (R0) resection margins, and (3) tumor size 2 cm or less were determined. Propensity score matching was based on segmentectomy adherence to (4) a composite of all measures, and survival was evaluated with Cox models and Kaplan-Meier survival estimates. RESULTS The study included 249,391 patients with 4.4% (n = 11,006) treated with segmentectomy. The proportion of segmentectomies performed annually increased from 3.3% in 2004 to 6.1% in 2018 (P < .001). Overall, 12.6% (n = 1385) of patients who underwent segmentectomy between 2004 and 2018 were adherent to all measures, and adherence was more likely at academic programs (odds ratio, 1.56; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-2.15) than nonacademic programs (P < .001, reference). Adherence to all measures was associated with improved survival (hazard ratio, 0.67; 95% confidence interval, 0.56-0.79). CONCLUSIONS As segmentectomy is increasingly established as a valid oncological option for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, it is important that quality remains high. This study demonstrates that continued improvement is needed.

Abstract
A recent randomized trial demonstrated the survival superiority of lung segmentectomy over lobectomy in patients with early stage, small-sized lung cancer. Hence, there is a pressing need for thoracic surgeons to gain familiarity with lung segmentectomy. However, lung segmentectomy, especially via minimally invasive surgery, is a technically challenging thoracic surgical procedure. The robotic surgery platform helps surgeons to improve their operative performance based on its core technological features: improved dexterity, precision, and visualization. Herein, we have discussed the key issues related to robotic lung segmentectomy, explicitly focusing on the technical features of complex segmentectomy under difficult conditions. We have also introduced our preferred surgical strategy for robotic lung segmentectomy with specific maneuvers.

Abstract
(1) Background: Conventional open thoracotomy has been the accepted surgical treatment for resectable non-small cell lung cancer. However, newer, minimally invasive approaches, such as robotic surgery, have demonstrated similar safety and efficacy with potentially superior peri-operative outcomes. The present study aimed to quantitatively assess these outcomes through a meta-analysis. (2) Methods: A systematic review was performed using electronic databases to identify all of the relevant studies that compared robotic surgery with open thoracotomy for non-small cell lung cancer. Pooled data on the peri-operative outcomes were then meta-analyzed. (3) Results: Twenty-two studies involving 12,061 patients who underwent robotic lung resection and 92,411 patients who underwent open thoracotomy were included for analysis. Mortality rates and length of hospital stay were significantly lower in patients who underwent robotic resection. Compared to open thoracotomy, robotic surgery was also associated with significantly lower rates of overall complications, including atrial arrhythmia, post-operative blood transfusions, pneumonia and atelectasis. However, the operative times were significantly longer with robotic lung resection. (4) Conclusions: The present meta-analysis demonstrated superior post-operative morbidity and mortality outcomes with robotic lung resection compared to open thoracotomy for non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of sublobar resection and selective lymph node dissection is gradually being accepted by thoracic surgeons for patients within early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, there are still some NSCLC patients develop lymphatic metastasis at clinical T1 stage. Lung adenocarcinoma with a micropapillary (MP) component poses a higher risk of lymph node metastasis and recurrence even when the MP component is not predominant. Our study aimed to explore the genetic features and occult lymph node metastasis (OLNM) risk factors in patients with a non-predominant micropapillary component (NP-MPC) in a large of patient’s cohort with surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma. Methods Between January 2019 and December 2021, 6418 patients who underwent complete resection for primary lung adenocarcinoma at the Qilu Hospital of Shandong University. In our study, 442 patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma with NP-MPC with a tumor size ≤3 cm were included. Genetic alterations were analyzed using amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR). Abnormal protein expression of gene mutations was validated using immunohistochemistry. A nomogram risk model based on clinicopathological parameters was developed to predict OLNM. This model was invalidated using the calibration plot and concordance index. Results In our retrospective cohort, the incidence rate of the micropapillary component was 11.17%, and OLNM was observed in 20.13% of the patients in our study. ARMS-PCR suggested that EGFR exon 19 del was the most frequent alteration in NP-MCP patients compared with other gene mutations (frequency: 21.2%, P<0.001). Patients harboring exon 19 del showed significantly higher risk of OLNM (P< 0.001). A nomogram was developed based on five risk parameters, which showed good calibration and reliable discrimination ability (C-index = 0.84) for evaluating OLNM risk. Conclusions. Intense expression of EGFR exon 19 del characterizes lung adenocarcinoma in patients with NP-MCP and it’s a potential risk factor for OLNM. We firstly established a nomogram based on age, CYFRA21-1 level, tumor size, micropapillary and solid composition, that was effective in predicting OLNM among NP-MCP of lung adenocarcinoma measuring ≤ 3 cm.
