“…Compromised pulmonary functions by previous surgery, technical surgical difficulties related to redo surgeries, higher rate of postoperative complications, and alternative curative options certainly represent a main issue when faced with a patient with recurrent or metachronous lung cancer. 1 , 2 , 3 However, redo surgery, if the patient is resectable and can tolerate surgery, still represent the standard of care. 1 …”

“…One of the most common post-operative complications in the surgical treatment of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer is represented by air leaks [ 33 , 34 , 35 ]. Although no significant differences were reported in this study among the three periods, associations were detected between the presence of these complications and both the more advanced T stage ( p = 0.018) and the more advanced cancer stage ( p = 0.022).…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the surgical treatment of lung cancer patients. Data from patients who underwent surgery during the pandemic were analyzed and compared to pre-pandemic and post-pandemic periods. Multiple parameters were examined, and their changes yielded significant results compared to other periods of the study. The statistical analysis revealed a significant decrease in the number of surgical interventions during the pandemic (p < 0.001), followed by a significant rebound thereafter. During this period, there was a significant increase in the T stage of cancer compared to both pre-pandemic and post-pandemic periods (p = 0.027). Additionally, the mean Charlson comorbidity index score was significantly higher during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period (p = 0.042). In this crisis period, a significant decrease was recorded in both the total hospitalization duration (p = 0.015) and the pre-operative hospitalization duration (p = 0.006). These findings provide evidence of significant changes in clinical and therapeutic strategies applied to lung cancer surgery patients during the study period. The pandemic has had a substantial and complex impact, the full extent of which remains to be fully understood.

“…Meanwhile, right lower middle lobe-preserving lobectomy contributes to postoperative lung function. Although reports of middle lobe preservation have been published [2][3][4], it may produce torsion. Emphysematous changes in the residual middle lobe may result from volume mismatch with the thoracic cavity during followup [2].…”

We report a case of thoracoscopic right basilar segmentectomy after upper lobectomy. A 76-year-old man who underwent right upper lobectomy for lung tuberculosis 50 years earlier was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, stage IB (T2aN0M0), in the right lower lobe and underwent right basilar segmentectomy for limited resection. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient showed no recurrence clinically and the 1-year postoperative chest computed tomographic scan showed adequate volume of the middle and residual right lower lobe without emphysematous changes.

Early postoperative complications after middle lobe-preserving surgery for secondary lung cancer

Abstract: While postoperative complications after middle lobe-preserving surgery are manageable, their high incidence should be considered when performing this surgery.
