      Background

      Patient perspectives on minimally invasive (MIS) versus open surgical approaches have not been well studied. Health care workers often presume that patients prefer MIS. The aim of this survey was to objectively document patient viewpoints on pain, complication risks, cosmesis, travel burden, and functional outcomes throughout the course of treatment.

      From 2012-2017, of the 206 consented patients, 184 lung and esophageal surgical patients were prospectively enrolled in this observational cohort study. Participants were asked to complete a RAND36 short form health survey (SF-36), which measures functional outcomes. They also completed the PROMIS questionnaire, which measures expectations regarding travel burden, pain, complications, and cosmesis on a continuous visual analog scale (VAS). The PROMIS questions were also classified into three anatomic regions (neck, chest, and abdomen). Patients were surveyed pre-operatively, at 1 month and at 6 months. McNemar’s test, and paired and independent t-test were used as appropriate.

      Of 206 patients, 184 (89%) completed the survey at least once. SF-36 showed physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, energy level, pain, and social functioning worsened significantly at 1 month. All indices recovered to baseline at 6 months. Recovery of indices was similar in both MIS and open surgery patients. Patients indicated that pain after surgery (mean VAS = 7.3; 95% CI 6.9-7.6) was more important than size of incision (mean VAS = 4.5; 95% CI 3.9-5.1, p < 0.001) and travel burden (mean VAS = 4.0; 95% CI 3.4-4.5, p < 0.001). The risk of complications (mean VAS = 7.5; 95% CI 7.2-7.9) was more important than size of incision (mean VAS = 4.5; 95% CI 3.9-5.1, p < 0.001) and travel burden (mean VAS = 4.0; 95% CI 3.4-4.5, p < 0.001). These findings were similar at each time point and across each body regions. The MIS group perceived pain following surgery (mean VAS = 7.12; 95% CI 6.35-7.89) was more important than the open group though it was not statistically different (mean VAS = 6.02; 95% CI 5.25-6.79, p = 0.07).

      Early postoperative deterioration followed by 6-month recovery in functional outcomes was reported by all patients regardless of surgical approach (MIS vs. open). Complication risk and pain after surgery were perceived as more important than size of incisions and distance traveled for treatment. Patients maybe more open-minded to participation in trials comparing MIS to open surgery than expected.
