Analysis of clinical and oncological outcomes after simple and intentional lung segmentectomies: the deceptive simplicity of the S6 segment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, few studies analyze postoperative outcomes for different types of segmental resections. Therefore, our aim was to compare lower lobe apex with other simple and intentional segmentectomies, in terms of clinical and oncological outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective and multicenter study was conducted on patients who underwent simple and intentional segmentectomies from 2015 to 2020. Inclusion criteria were stage cT1a/b N0 M0 disease, peripheral localization and predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second (ppoFEV1) >60%. Pre, intra and post operative parameters were collected and we performed statistical analysis on overall survival and recurrence.

Results

The inclusion criteria were met by 252 patients, with 125 having an anatomical
