Thoracoscopic pneumonectomy for lung cancer: a retrospective cohort study

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the correlation between neoadjuvant treatment and postoperative morbidity; to assess immediate postoperative outcomes after open and thoracoscopic pneumonectomy (MultiPort and UniPort groups). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis included data from 100 patients who underwent open, thoracoscopic multiport and single-port pneumonectomy for lung cancer. Correlations were assessed using univariate and multivariate regression. RESULTS: =0.118). CONCLUSION: Thoracoscopic pneumonectomy is characterized by equal effectiveness compared to open technique and also demonstrates a tendency to lower incidence of postoperative complications and length of postoperative hospital stay.
