      P1.16-32 - Lung Cancer Completeness of Resection in Uniportal Versus Multiportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Lobectomy (ID 14315)

      • Abstract

      Background

      In 2005, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) added a new category to complete and incomplete resection for residual tumor classification (R): uncertain resection (R(un)). R status has a major prognostic impact, and the prognosis of patients with a R(un) resection differs from that of patients with either complete (R0) or incomplete resection (R1 or R2). The aim of this study was to measure R status with the expanded classification system when performing lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using a uniportal (U-VATS) or multiportal (M-VATS) video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

      From August 2014 through December 2017, 672 VATS lobectomies were performed for the primary treatment of clinical stage I and II NSCLC, 43 patients with ground glass opacity or complex cases were excluded. Patients were analyzed according to ports used (one or multiple), R status, lobe-specific lymphadenectomy, subcarinal lymphadenectomy, length of hospital stay and length of thoracic drainage. A propensity-matched analysis was planned however, all variables were evenly distributed in both groups.

      Of 629 VATS lobectomies, 234 (37%) were performed with U-VATS and 395 (63%) with M-VATS. Most resections were classified as R(un) (84%); 2% were incomplete. When compared with M-VATS, U-VATS was associated with superior completeness of resection (p=0.0159), superior lobe-specific lymphadenectomy (p=0.0004), and superior subcarinal lymphadenectomy (p=0.0064). The highest mediastinal lymph node station dissected was not different between the approaches. The patients who underwent U-VATS had shorter hospital stays (mean: 4.4 days vs 6.2 days, p=0.0001) and less thoracic drainage (mean: 4.7 days vs 5.8 days, p=0.0004). There was no difference in operative mortality (p=0.3024) (Table 1).

      In our institution, most VATS lobectomies were uncertain resections due to the lymph node evaluation by IASLC definition. Using U-VATS is not inferior to M-VATS in accomplishing a complete oncologic resection thoracoscopically.
