P1.16-028 - Is Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery a Safer Procedure for Lung Cancer Patients? (ID 10442)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): S. Camargo
- Abstract
Background:
Video-assisted anatomical lung resections(VATS) have been increasingly performed worldwide for lung cancer with excellent results. Nonetheless, no comparative analysis has been done in Latin America where we find a different mix of cases when compared to the US or Europe. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of VATS versus open thoracotomy (OT) for anatomical lung resection in patients from the Brazilian Society of Thoracic Surgery (BSTS) database.
Method:
This study was a propensity score analysis of 728 lung cancer patients who underwent anatomic lung resections (358 thoracotomies and 370 VATS) registered in the BSTS database from its inception in August 2015 until May 2017. Pneumonectomies were excluded for analisis purposis A propensity-score model was built using the following baseline characteristics: age at surgery, gender, BMI, comorbidities, type of resection, staging. The main outcomes were mortality, complications and major cardiopulmonary complications.
Result:
Overall in hospital mortality was significant higher in OT(3.6%) in comparison to VATS(0.8%) (OD=4.75, 95%CI=1.28-17.62). Major cardiopulmonary complications were more frequent in patients who underwent OT (17.3%) in comparison to VATS (13%) (OR=1.32; 95%CI:0.85-2.05), but not significant. When analyzing all complications, both technics were similar (OD=1.08, 95%CI0.77-1.51). Figure 1
Conclusion:
In Brazil, minimally invasive surgery (VATS) for anatomic lung resections is associated with a significantly lower rate of mortality when compared to conventional thoracotomy.
