RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to report the results of the first consensus paper among international experts in uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UniVATS) lobectomy obtained through a Delphi process, the objective of which was to define and standardize the main procedural steps, optimize its indications and perioperative management and identify elements to assist in future training. METHODS: The 40 members of the working group were convened and organized on a voluntary basis by the Uniportal VATS Interest Group (UVIG) of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS). An e-consensus finding exercise using the Delphi method was applied to require 75% agreement for reaching consensus on each question. Repeated iterations of anonymous voting continued for 3 rounds. RESULTS: Overall, 31 international experts from 18 countries completed all 3 rounds of questionnaires. Although a technical quorum was not achieved, most of the responders agreed that the maximum size of a UniVATS incision should be ≤4 cm. Agreement was reached on many points outlining the currently accepted definition of a UniVATS lobectomy, its indications and contraindications, perioperative clinical management and recommendations for training and future research directions. CONCLUSIONS: The UVIG Consensus Report stated that UniVATS offers a valid alternative to standard VATS techniques. Only longer follow-up and randomized controlled studies will predict whether UniVATS represents a valid alternative approach to multiport VATS for major lung resections or whether it should be performed only in selected cases and by selected centres. The next step for the ESTS UVIG is the establishment of a UniVATS section inside the ESTS databases.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Oesophageal anastomotic leak after oesophagectomy is a severe complication and associated with a high mortality rate. Initial treatment is conservative and includes stent implantation or endo-VAC therapy. This study describes a combined treatment strategy of endoscopic and surgical management after failure of conservative management. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients were included who had been treated after oesophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction in our department of thoracic surgery between May 2008 and December 2016. Clinical data was evaluated from a prospectively acquired database. We surgically managed these patients with a combination of oesophageal stent implantation, transmural stent fixation with absorbable suture, stent coverage with muscle flap, radical debridement of mediastinal and pleural empyema and discontinuous pleural space irrigation, when conservative management failed. We evaluated the factors influencing mortality rate after surgical treatment of anastomotic insufficiency repair. RESULTS: 18 patients were introduced to our department after external failure of conservative therapy. 15 patients were introduced < 20 days after conservative therapy and three cases after > 20 days of conservative therapy. All patients presented with right sided pleural empyema, pneumonia, mediastinitis and sepsis. Three cases were accompanied by bilateral pleural empyema. Definitive successful surgical reconstruction occurred in 100%. The 90-day mortality rate was 20% (three patients), who died because of multi-organ failure. CONCLUSION: Oesophageal anastomotic leak after oesophagectomy can be managed successfully by the combined treatment strategy of endoscopic and surgical procedures following failure of conservative treatment. The only factor influencing mortality seems to be a prolonged conservative therapy of more than 20 days.
