This study details a minimally invasive technique for basilar segmentectomy using a totally thoracoscopic approach. The method proved safe and effective, with low complication rates and short recovery times for lung cancer surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Anatomical segmentectomy is a key lung cancer treatment.
  • Minimally invasive approaches are preferred for reduced morbidity.
  • Basilar segmentectomy presents unique technical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a totally thoracoscopic technique for basilar segmentectomy without utility incision.
  • To report the technical details and outcomes of this approach.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive basilar segmentectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A series of 65 anatomical segmentectomies were performed using a totally thoracoscopic approach.
  • Nineteen of these were basilar segmentectomies, detailed in this report.

  • Data collected included operative time, blood loss, and postoperative outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • One conversion to thoracotomy (1.5%) was required due to fissure complications.
    • Mean operative time for the 18 totally endoscopic resections was 191 minutes.
    • Mean blood loss was 73 mL, with a mean postoperative stay of 6.1 days and no prolonged air leaks.

    Conclusions:

    • Totally thoracoscopic basilar segmentectomy is a feasible and safe procedure.
    • This minimally invasive technique offers good outcomes with low morbidity.
    • The described approach provides valuable technical insights for thoracic surgeons.
