Abstract

Pneumonectomy is a type of lung resection with high morbidity and mortality and is more commonly performed for the treatment of lung cancer. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of VATS pneumonectomy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer based on our own clinical experience. We retrospectively analyzed patients with NSCLC who underwent pneumonectomy between January 2016 and May 2021. Preoperative, operative, and postoperative results of VATS and thoracotomy groups were analyzed and compared. This study was approved by the local ethics committee and informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study (Registration number: 49109414–604.02; Date: 24/01/2020). A total of 135 patients were included in the study. There were 20 patients who underwent VATS pneumonectomy and 115 patients who underwent open pneumonectomy. There was no difference between VATS and thoracotomy groups in terms of operative and postoperative complications. The mean visual analog scale score was significantly lower in the VATS group. In the light of the data of our study, we can conclude that VATS pneumonectomy is a safe and feasible procedure in selected patients.
