Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) offers various techniques, with stapled methods common. Bilateral thoracoscopy in the supine position shows promise for expeditious LVRS with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Pulmonary medicine

Background:

  • Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is gaining renewed interest.
  • Multiple surgical approaches exist, each with unique benefits and drawbacks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current surgical techniques for LVRS.
  • To compare the efficacy and safety of different LVRS approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Review of stapled techniques, plication techniques, and laser treatments for LVRS.
  • Evaluation of minimally invasive approaches, including bilateral thoracoscopy.

Main Results:

  • Stapled techniques are more prevalent than plication or laser methods.
  • Staple buttressing material does not appear to influence outcomes.

  • Bilateral procedures are generally recommended for suitable LVRS candidates.
  • Minimally invasive techniques, particularly bilateral thoracoscopy in the supine position, demonstrate favorable results, including reduced morbidity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Bilateral thoracoscopy in the supine position is a highly effective and safe minimally invasive approach for LVRS.
    • This technique offers the most expeditious procedure with the lowest risk of incision-related complications.
