2 VATS LOBECTOMY: FIRST EXPERIENCES CLINICAL MAIN CONCERNS Morbidity/mortality rates comparable with open approach Not significant trend in reduction of postoperative pain Oncological safety Lack of long-term follow-up NON CLINICAL No standardized techniques and definition Difficult technique No easy to teach Long learning curve Quality of operation (lymph-nodes dissection) Lack of dedicated devices High cost

3 VATS LOBECTOMY TODAY CLINICAL PERSPECTIVES VATS LOBECTOMY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH : LESS PAIN LESS COMPLICATIONS SHORTER LENGHT OF STAY BETTER QoL IMPROVED DELIVERY AND TOLERANCE TO ADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY SIMILAR (BETTER??) LONG TERM SURVIVAL

IN TERMS OF: - TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY - POSTOPERATIVE PAIN - OUTCOME - LEARNING CURVE - OTHER (i.e. COSMETICS, PATIENT S ACCEPTABILITY, SURGICAL IMPACT) IS UNIPORTAL APPROACH A NATURAL AND UNAVOIDABLE EVOLUTION OF TRIPORTAL?

17 VATS LOBECTOMY TODAY THE FACTS TRIPORTAL APPROACHES ARE THE MOST COMMON USED MOST OF LITERATURE STUDIES ARE ON TRIPORTAL LOBECTOMY MOST OF MODERN DEVICES FOR VATS LOBECTOMY ARE DESIGNED AND PROJECTED FOR MULTIPORTAL APPROACH MOST OF THE TRAINING PROGRAMS AND STUDIES ON LEARNING CURVE ARE ON TRIPORTAL APPROACH

18 TRAINING PROGRAM LEARNING CURVE: ~ 50 CASES: - Shorter operative time - Lower complications - Less intraoperative blood loss

25 MAIN TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS OF UNIPORTAL APPROACH CROWDING OF INSTRUMENTS DIFFICULT MANIPULATION OF THE LUNG LACK OF DEDICATED DEVICES (STAPLERS WITH WIDE ANGULATION) UPPER LOBECTOMY MORE DIFFICULT ASSISTANT WITH CAMERA IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION MORE DIFFICULT TO LEARN

26 THORACOSCOPIC UPPER LOBECTOMY Represents clear majority of VATS lobectomy Greatest degree of anatomic variation Higher likelihood of conversion to thoracotomy Higher likelihood of becoming pneumonectomy Mastery of VATS Upper Lobectomy is essential to success

32 Padua experience (220 cases)

33 SUMMARY THE TRIPORTAL APPROACH FOR VATS LOBECTOMY IS THE MOST COMMON USED APPROACH. IT HAS SEVERAL RECOGNIZED ADVANTAGES: EASY AND SAFE TO DO, LEARN AND TEACH, MORE ANATOMICAL AND MORE ADAPTABLE TO THE CURRENT INSTRUMENTATION, EASIER THAN UNIPORTAL FOR UPPER LOBECTOMY. DATA ARE STILL LACKING ON THE EFFECTIVE COMPARISON BETWEEN TRIPORTAL AND BI- OR UNIPORTAL APPROACHES. THE ANTERIOR TRIPORTAL COPENAGHEN APPROACH SEEMS THE BEST FOR ALL SITUATIONS.
