Pulmonary completion lobectomy after segmentectomy: An integrated analysis of perioperative outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Completion lobectomy (CL) after anatomical segmentectomy is technically challenging and rarely performed. Here, we aimed to report perioperative outcomes of a single center real-world CL data.

Methods

Seven patients who underwent CL after segmentectomy were retrospectively evaluated between 2015-2021. Additionally, 34 patients were included in the review based on relevant studies in the literature until March 2022. A total of 41 patients were finally analyzed and classified into groups, according to surgical approach (video-assisted thoracic surgery [VATS] and thoracotomy; 12 and 29 patients, respectively) or interval-to-CL following initial segmentectomy (≤8 weeks [short] and >8 weeks [long]; 11 and 30 patients, respectively).
