This thoracic session features leading surgeons presenting on advancements in robotic and complex thoracic surgery at the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery Annual Scientific Meeting 2026. To begin, Desmond M. D’Souza from the...
This video demonstrates the case of a 51-year-old female patient with a history of smoking who presented with progressive dyspnea, hemoptysis, and status alteration. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning discusses the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) heart team potentially losing a member. He explores the current composition of the TAVR...
This single-center retrospective cohort study from Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital compared non-intubated (NI-UVATS, n=18) vs intubated uniportal VATS (I-UVATS, n=47) sleeve lobectomy. In carefully selected patients, NI-UVATS was feasible with zero...
This video demonstrates video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomies, providing step-by-step instructional videos that dissect important structures in a library format, organized by each specific lobe. 1. Left Upper Lobectomy A left...
In this article, the authors quantify the financial burden of postoperative adverse events after lobectomy for lung cancer across 10 high-volume Canadian hospitals. Using data from 2017 to 2022, including...
This individual patient data meta-analysis evaluated the clinical efficacy of surgical sealants after pulmonary resection using data from seven randomized controlled trials including 552 patients. The use of a sealant...
This large single-center retrospective study of 682 patients compared outcomes after sleeve lobectomy for non-small cel lung cancer (NSCLC) with and without buttressing the bronchial anastomosis using autogenous flaps. After...
This prospective observational study examined the association between Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) scores and postoperative pain in 100 patients undergoing multiportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. The PCS is a...
This retrospective analysis compared three-port and four-port robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)(n=121, 2020–2021). Demographics, tumor characteristics, complications, and lymph node yields were similar between...
This study investigates the impact of tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) on surgical outcomes for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In a retrospective analysis of 785 patients, 19.2...
This article assesses the outcomes of segmentectomy versus lobectomy in treating peripheral, early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. In a multicenter study involving 674 patients, the authors compared overall survival (OS), lung cancer-specific...
This retrospective study compared outcomes for 90-day mortality and five-year overall survival estimates in patients who underwent lobectomy, segmentectomy, or wedge resection for stage c-IA lung carcinoma between 2016-2022. Of...
