"Deviceless" Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy: Is It Feasible?

We demonstrate that performing anatomical pulmonary resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery without staplers or energy devices is feasible. This technique is an alternative for surgeons with limited access to expensive technologies.

: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is associated with less postoperative pain than traditional open thoracotomy. However, trocar and chest tube placement may damage the intercostal nerves, causing significant discomfort. An ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a promising mode of pain management; this reduces the need for opioids and the associated side-effects.

Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is widely used in lung cancer surgery, as this technique causes less pain and faster recovery than open thoracotomy. However, significant postoperative pain persists in a number of patients, often leading to increased opioid use and opioid-related adverse events in addition to prolonged admission times. Perioperatively administered glucocorticoids have been demonstrated effective in reducing pain after other types of surgeries, but the effect in VATS remains unclear.

Department of Anesthesiology, The First People's Hospital of Chenzhou, Chenzhou, Hunan Province, 423000, China.
Background: Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a common complication following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) that significantly impacts the quality of life of patients. Although multiple risk factors have been identified, no systematically validated prediction model exists to guide clinical decision-making.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for CPSP in patients undergoing VATS for lung cancer.
One-stage versus two-stage thoracoscopic surgery for synchronous bilateral pulmonary nodules: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Friendship Hospital, No. 2 Yinghua East Road, Chaoyang District, 100029, Beijing, China.
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the surgical efficacy of one-stage and two-stage video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules (BMPNs).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 156 patients, 84 who underwent one-stage and 72 who underwent two-stage VATS for BMPNs at our department between January 2019 and December 2022. Perioperative and long-term outcomes were compared between the two groups using propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis.
