Summary

Background VATS lobectomy centers face pressure to reduce hospitalization to contain costs, and some centers have sought to develop "fast-track" protocols. There are limited data to identify which patients would be appropriate for fast-tracking.

Objective The first objective was to identify factors associated to short lenght of stay after VATS lobectomy. The second objective was to verify the influence of these variables in uncomplicated VATS lobectomy.

Methods We reviewed all thoracoscopic lobectomies for cancer operations reported to the Italian VATS Group between January 2014 and January 2020. Patient and procedural characteristics, length of stay and 30-day morbidity and mortality were reviewed. Patients were divided into two subgroups depending on their reaching the targeted length of stay (≤ or \> 4 days). The association between preoperative and intraoperative variables and postoperative length of stay (LOS) ≤ 4 days was assessed using a stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify factors independently associated with LOS and factors related to LOS in uncomplicated cases.

Conditions

  • Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted

Interventions

PROCEDURE

VATS lobectomy

VATS lobectomy allows surgeons to carry out exactly the same operation within the chest that is performed by thoracotomy, but it is done through 3-4 small incisions without rib spreading rather than the large incision with rib spreading that a thoracotomy entails. The surgeon gains his view inside the chest from a small video camera inserted through one of the small incisions, and the procedure is carried out with long instruments passed through the other small incisions.
