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).Results
There were no significant differences in estimated blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, or complications between the predefined groups. However, a longer operative time was observed in the long interval-to-CL group than in the short interval-to-CL group (267 vs. 226 min, p = 0.02). The rate of severe hilar adhesions was higher in the thoracotomy versus VATS groups (72 vs. 42%, p = 0.06) and in the long versus short interval-to-CL groups (70 vs. 45%, p = 0.15). On multivariable logistic regression analysis of a subgroup (n = 30), completion lobectomy of upper lobes may be associated with severe hilar adhesions (p = 0.02, odds ratio: 13.98; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.36-143.71).Conclusion
Completion lobectomy after segmentectomy can be performed securely by either VATS or thoracotomy. Although the thoracotomy and long interval-to-CL groups retained a greater percentage of severe hilar adhesions, the perioperative outcomes were similar to those of VATS and short interval-to-CL groups, respectively.
