      Background
      We conducted a multi-institutional study comparing VATS lobectomy to Hybrid, and conventional open lobectomy for unmatched and propensity score-matched patients with stage I NSCLC in an attempt to stratify any potential differences in perioperative outcomes and long-term survival outcomes among the three procedures in patients with stage I NSCLC on a homogeneous well-balanced large population from multi-institutions.

      Methods
      Between January 2001 and December 2008 in eight institutions from the People’s Republic of China, a total of 2485 patients with stage I NSCLC who underwent lobectomy via c-VATS, Hybrid, or open thoracotomy were entered into the current multi-institutional registry. One thousand and fifty-six patients (42.5%) underwent c-VATS lobectomy, 273 patients (11.0%) underwent Hybrid lobectomy, and 1156 patients (46.5%) underwent open lobectomy. Of the patients who attempted to undergo c-VATS lobectomy, 65 were converted to assisted-VATS and 49 patients were converted to open lobectomy.

      Results
      After propensity-matching, c-VATS, Hybrid, and open lobectomy patients were similar in regards to age, gender, histological type and pathological TNM staging. Median operative time was 156.16±17.08 min in open lobectomy group, higher than in c-VATS lobectomy group (145.39±13.1 min) and Hybrid lobectomy group (148.86±11.62) before matching (P<0.001), after matching, it was 154.5±16.89 min, 145.41±12.17 min, and 148.81±11.63 min in open, c-VATS, and Hybrid lobectomy group, respectively (P<0.001). Transfusion occurred in 4 (12.9%) patients in c-VATS group and 6 (19.4%) patients in Hybrid group, both of them lower than in open lobectomy group of 21 (67.7%) patients (P=0.003). However, after matching, there was no statistical difference among three groups, 5 (41.7%) patients, 1 (8.3%) patients, and 6 (50.0%) patients in open, c-VATS, and Hybrid group, respectively (P=0.112). After selecting the propensity-matched patients, the 5-year survival of 78%, 74% and 76% in patients who underwent c-VATS, Hybrid, and open lobectomy, respectively. The perioperative mortality rate was 1.1% for the open group, 1.0% for the Hybrid group, and 0.8% for the VATS group. Two prognostic factors were independently associated with improved survival outcome in multivariate analysis: age < 60 (p = 0.01) and smoking history (p = 0.012). When comparing the three propensity-matched populations, patients who underwent c-VATS lobectomy had similar long-term survival outcomes to patients who underwent Hybrid or conventional thoracotomy (p = 0.770).

      Conclusion
      The present multi-institutional study represents the largest dataset evaluating surgical outcomes of patients who underwent c-VATS or Hybrid for NSCLC. VATS lobectomy for NSCLC was not associated with inferior long-term survival compared to Hybrid or conventional thoracotomy.

      MO22.09 - Thoracoscopic half carina resection and bronchial sleeve resection for central lung cancer (ID 2083)

      Background
      The objectives of this study were to report the surgical techniques and clinical outcome of thoracoscopic half carina resection and thoracoscopic bronchial sleeve resection for central lung cancer.

      Methods
      Between January 2011 and November 2012, 675 patients with lung cancer underwent radical surgery by thoracoscopy, 49 (7.3%) underwent bronchial sleeve resection. Among 49 patients, 20 (41%) received thoracoscopic bronchial sleeve lobectomy. Perioperative variables and postoperative outcomes of these cases were analyzed to evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of this operation.

      Results
      In one patient, right upper lung sleeve resection was combined with half-carinal resection and reconstruction. In another, right medial lung sleeve resection was combined with lower right dorsal segment resection. The average time of surgery was 239 min (range, 142-330 min, 239±51 min), and the average time of airway reconstruction was 44 min (range, 22-75 min, 44±17 min). The intraoperative blood loss averaged 207 ml (range, 80-550 ml, 207±96 min). The median postoperative hospital stay was 10 days (interquartile range, 8-12 days). Postoperatively, extubation was achieved in the recovery room without further need for mechanical ventilation. None of the patients developed anastomotic leak. Perioperative mortality was not observed.

      Conclusion
      Thoracoscopic bronchial sleeve resection can be considered a feasible and safe operation for selected patients with central lung cancer. The complicated anastomosis technique of half carina resection was feasible.

      P1.07-027 - VATS lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer in patients with severe COPD (ID 2127)

      09:30 - 16:30  |  Author(s): W. Shao

      • Abstract

      Background
      To assess the feasibility, safety and long-term outcomes of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients with severe COPD.

      Methods
      The clinical data of patients with NSCLC and severe COPD (preoperative FEV1% <50%) who underwent VATS lobectomy from January 2000 to January 2011 were retrospectively analyzed to identify their demographic parameters, postoperative complications and outcomes.

      Results
      The preoperative FEV1/FVC was <70% and FEV1% <50% in all 61 patients in this study, with a mean preoperative FEV1 of 0.99 L (0.54-1.58 L) and mean FEV1% of 38.4% (22-49.82%). All of the 61 patients underwent the VATS lobectomy or sleeve resection plus systemic lymph node dissection. The mean operative time was 218 minutes (120-355 minutes), with a mean intraoperative blood loss of 342 ml (50-1600 ml). None of the patients converted to thoracotomy. Multivariate statistical analysis revealed that age and TNM staging after tumor resection were independent predictive factors for the 5-year survival in those patients (p=0.014 and 0.013).

      Conclusion
      With preoperative imaging studies, pulmonary function assessment and target positioning, VATS leboectomy can be safely and effectively performed for patients with NSCLC and severe COPD to achieve a satisfying long-term survival outcome.
