Enhanced recovery pathways in thoracic surgery from Italian VATS Group: preoperative optimisation

Abstract: Preoperative patient optimisation is a key point of enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery pathways. This could be particularly advantageous when considering video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy, because reduced trauma related to minimally invasive techniques is one of the main factors favouring improved postoperative outcome. Main specific interventions for clinical optimisation before major lung resection include assessment and treatment of comorbidities, minimizing preoperative hospitalization… Show more

“…VATS is one of the evolving surgical procedures that is yet to be fully embraced as an important armamentarium for patient care in the day-to-day surgical practice, [1][2][3] especially in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). There are many thoracic surgical practices in SSA that may require the use of VATS, but due to the mitigating problems of cost and unavailability of human and material resources, it is not being used for them.…”
