Factors and outcomes associated with successful minimally invasive pneumonectomy
Minimally invasive pneumonectomy for lung cancer had similar 5-year survival compared with open pneumonectomy. However, conversion from minimally invasive to open pneumonectomy showed a trend toward increased risk of death, and conversion rates were high irrespective of institutional minimally invasive lung surgery volume. Careful patient selection is necessary when considering minimally invasive pneumonectomy so that long-term outcomes are not compromised.
