A systematic review and meta-analysis of thoracoscopic versus thoracotomy sleeve lobectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Operative safety and oncologic adequacy of thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy remain controversial. As such, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate evidence comparing thoracoscopy and thoracotomy in sleeve lobectomy for centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

Electronic searches of PubMed and Web of Science databases were undertaken from inception to March 2020. Comparative studies about thoracoscopic and thoracotomy sleeve lobectomy, with evaluation for perioperative outcomes and oncological results were identified. The following outcomes were measured in this meta-analysis: operating time, blood loss, numbers of lymph node, postoperative hospital stay, chest drainage time, postoperative complication rate, mortality, overall survival
