Thoracoscopic surgery in the management of pediatric malignancies: a multicentric survey of the Italian Society of Videosurgery in Infancy

Abstract: The role of MIS in tumor resection for children is currently limited, but may be used in individual cases when the preoperative workup shows it to be feasible. Its indication is strictly dependent on the thoracoscopic experience of the surgeon and the tumor site for preoperative imaging techniques. When the indication for thoracoscopy is correct, this approach has high therapeutic applicability (65.4% in our series). Our preliminary experience shows that careful patient selection and an appropriate level of te… Show more

“…Complications encountered in thoracoscopic surgery may include pneumothorax, bleeding, port-site recurrence, 28 portsite infection, 30 chylothorax, 2 Horner's syndrome, 2,9,12,14 and tumor spillage. 31,32 Although the most common complication after thoracoscopic resection of intrathoracic neurogenic tumors is Horner's syndrome, 12,14 this may be a function of the location of these tumors in the upper mediastinum 9,10 or a result from traction, thermal injury, or edema of the stellate ganglion.…”

“…54 Although these various preoperative localization techniques serve as adjunctive tools, several case series have reported using thoracoscopic biopsy without preoperative localization and demonstrated a 96.7%-100% histological and/or bacteriological diagnosis. 22,25,30,31,47,[55][56][57][58][59][60] Conversion to open thoracotomy ranged from 0% to 30%, 22,25,30,31,51,[55][56][57][58][59]61 and was primarily due to limited visibility, 47,51,55,58 adhesion, 55,58 bleeding, 55,58 decreased intraoperative oxygen saturations, 55 and hypercarbia. 58 Therefore, thoracoscopy was largely successful, and some patients were able to begin adjuvant therapy earlier.…”

“…Однако 22 пациентам выполнена резекция легкого с целью диагностики очагов воспалительного характера, поскольку дети с онкопатологией имеют повышенный риск развития бактериальной и гриб-ковой инфекции, что требует этиотропной терапии для каждого вида инфекции. Авторы показывают, что этот метод обладает высокой диагностиче-ской значимостью и незначительным количеством осложнений [18]. К тем же выводам и результатам пришли немецкие коллеги, рассматривая торако-скопическую резекцию легких как диагностиче-скую операцию с целью верификации очагов при различных опухолях у детей [19,20].…”
