  • Research progresses in robot-assisted Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy

    Surgery is the preferred treatment for early esophageal cancer. Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality, but due to the complex esophageal anatomy, intraoperative esophageal exposure, separation, anastomosis and lymph node dissection are difficult. The da Vinci surgical system provides a 3D vision and a more flexible as well as stable robotic arm, which is very helpful in completing fine surgical procedures. Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy(RAMIE) has been carried out in a number of countries, including China. Robot-assisted Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy (RAILE) is a transthoracic approach of robots developed in recent years. This paper summarizes the current researches on RAILE.

  • Application of robot-assisted minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for esophageal cancer

    Objective To evaluate the effects of robot-assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (RAILE) in surgical treatment of esophageal cancer. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 70 patients diagnosed with mid-lower esophageal cancer undergoing RAILE in the Department of Thoracic Surgery in Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University between May 2015 and April 2018. There were 54 males and 16 females at average age of 62.0±7.6 years. Forty patients underwent circular end-to-end stapled intrathoracic anastomosis and 30 had a double-layered, completely hand-sewn intrathoracic anastomosis. Results The mean operating time was 308.7±60.6 minutes. And blood loss was 190.0±95.1 ml. There were 2 patients who underwent conversion to thoracotomy. There was no in-hospital and 30-day mortality. Overall complications were observed in 24 patients (34.3%), of whom 6 patients (8.6%) had anastomotic leakage. The median length of hospitalization was 9.0 (interquartile range, IQR, 5.0) days. The mean tumor size was 3.2±1.5 cm, and R0 resection was achieved in all patients. The mean number of totally dissected lymph nodes was 19.3±8.7. Conclusion RAILE is safe and technically feasible with satisfactory perioperative outcomes.

  • Quality control of robot-assisted segmentectomy for early-stage lung cancer

    Recently, anatomical segmentectomy emerges as a hot spot in clinical research for surgical treatment of early-stage lung cancer. The techniques of segmentectomy are more elaborate and complicated than lobectomy, because of the considerable anatomic variations of segment blood vessels and bronchus. In a long term, video-assisted thoracic surgery is the mainly minimally invasive approach. As a new approach of minimally invasive surgery, da Vinci robot system possesses three-dimensional and high definition view, better dexterity mechanical wrist and tremor filtering system, which are the main advantages over video-assisted thoracic surgery. All the superiorities of robot system provide good supports for performing segmentectomy. Robot-assisted segmentectomy has been carried out in many medical centers in China and abroad until now. However, most surgery cases often lack adequate controls on quality.

  • Segmentectomy of early stage lung cancer: From technology to clinical research

    Segmentectomy is the removal of certain segments of the lung with lesions and retaining the normal lung tissue of the lobe. Lung segmentectomy is considered difficult due to the lack of clear anatomical boundaries between lung segments. Segmentectomy has a variety of indications, such as lung cancer, metastatic lung tumors, and many non-malignant diseases. In the treatment of early stage lung cancer, segmentectomy was initially considered only as a treatment option for patients not suitable for conventional lobectomy. As more evidence emerged, the indications for segmentectomy have continued to change over time, and segmentectomy has been widely performed in patients with early stage lung cancer. Theoretically, segmentectomy leads to better preservation of lung function than lobectomy, but the risk of incomplete tumor resection is higher, so the indication of segmentectomy has become a focus of debate. This article will introduce the surgical techniques of segmentectomy and summarize the published and unpublished clinical studies on segmentectomy for the treatment of early stage lung cancer.

  • Analysis of risk factors for complications after robot-assisted segmentectomy

    ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for complications after robotic segmentectomy.MethodsClinical data of 207 patients undergoing robot-assisted anatomical segmentectomy in our hospital from June 2015 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 69 males and 138 females with a median age of 54.0 years. The relationship between clinicopathological factors and prolonged air leakage, pleural effusion, and pulmonary infection after surgery was analyzed.ResultsAfter robot-assisted segmentectomy, 20 (9.7%) patients developed prolonged air leakage (>5 d), 17 (8.2%) patients developed pleural effusion, and 4 (1.9%) patients developed pulmonary infection. Univariate logistic regression showed that body mass index (BMI, P=0.018), FEV1% (P=0.024), number of N1 lymph nodes resection (P=0.008) were related to prolonged air leakage after robot-assisted segmentectomy. Benign lesion was a risk factor for pleural effusion (P=0.013). The number of lymph node sampling stations was significantly related to the incidence of pulmonary infection (P=0.035). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the BMI (OR=0.73, P=0.012) and N1 lymph node sampling (OR=1.38, P=0.001) had a negative and positive relationship with prolonged air leakage after robot-assisted segmentectomy, respectively.ConclusionThe incidence of pulmonary complications after robot-assisted segmentectomy is low. The lower BMI and more N1 lymph node sampling is, the greater probability of prolonged air leakage is. Benign lesions and more lymph node sampling stations are risk factors for pleural effusion and lung infection, respectively. Attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of perioperative complications for patients with such risk factors.

  • Application of immunotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma

    In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy has changed the treatment of various malignant tumors. Immunotherapy for specific targets currently plays an important role in melanoma, lung cancer and other tumors. Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive malignant tumor. Although the treatments include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the clinical efficacy is limited, and the prognosis of advanced patients is poor. With the application of monoclonal antibodies such as programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4, MPM patients have more treatment options. And compared with traditional chemotherapy, immunotherapy may have the effect of improving survival and shrinking tumors. This article will summarize the current clinical trials of immunotherapy in MPM, and explain the current application and progress of immunotherapy in MPM from both single-agent immunotherapy and combined immunotherapy.

  • Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules in 183 patients: A clinical analysis in a single center

    ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of preoperative location of pulmonary nodules guided by electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB). MethodsPatients who received preoperative ENB localization and then underwent surgery from March 2021 to November 2022 in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were collected. The clinical efficacy and safety of ENB localization and the related factors that may affect the success of ENB localization were analyzed. ResultsInitially 200 patients were included, among whom 17 undergoing preoperative localization and biopsy were excluded and a total of 183 patients and 230 nodules were finally included. There were 62 males and 121 females with a mean age of 49.16±12.50 years. The success rate of navigation was 88.7%, and the success rate of ENB localization was 67.4%. The rate of complications related to ENB localization were 2.7%, and the median localization time was 10 (7, 15) min. Multi-variable analysis showed that factors related to successful localization included distance from localization site (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.13-0.59, P=0.001), staining material (OR=0.40, 95%CI 0.17-0.95, P=0.038), and staining dose (OR=60.39, 95%CI 2.31-1 578.47, P=0.014). Conclusion ENB-guided preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules is safe and effective, and the incidence of complications is low, which can be used to effectively assist the diagnosis and treatment of early lung cancer.
