Intraoperative conversion during video-assisted thoracoscopy resection for lung cancer does not alter survival

Abstract: OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcomes of patients treated by anatomical pulmonary resection with the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach, VATS requiring intraoperative conversion to thoracotomy or an upfront open thoracotomy for lung cancer surgery. METHODS We performed a retrospective single-centre study that included consecutive patients between January 2011 and December 2018… Show more

“…Fourdrain et al 13 retrospectively compared the data of patients undergoing anatomic resections (segmentectomy, lobectomy, and bilobectomy) for lung cancer by successful VATS ( n = 439), by converted VATS ( n = 94) and by upfront thoracotomy ( n = 313). The conversion rate was 17.6% ( n = 94) and in 21 cases (22%) it was because of bleeding (emergent conversion).…”

“…Fourdrain et al enrolled 533 patients in the study cohort, including 439 in the full VATS group and 94 (17.6%) in the conversion group [ 7 ]. All consecutive patients were treated by anatomical lobar pulmonary resection (486 by lobectomy and 8 by bilobectomy, 92.7%) or anatomical sublobar pulmonary resection (39 segmentectomy) for NSCLC.…”
