Resumo
Background: Chronic lung infections represent a diversity of clinical entities that combined respond to significant public health, particularly in developing countries. However, there is no data regarding the practice patterns, surgeons' preferences, and technological usage, especially among Brazilian surgeons, in the setting of the surgical treatment of chronic lung infections. We, therefore, surveyed Brazilian thoracic surgeons from the Brazilian Society of Thoracic Surgery (SBCT) about practice patterns and trends in surgical treatment for chronic lung infections. Methods: A cross-sectional anonymous survey of all thoracic surgeons from the Brazilian Society was conducted in 2019. As the study was purely descriptive no further statistical evaluation was performed. Results: The responsive rate was 34% (259/766) from 23 of the 26 states in Brazil. A total of 141 (54.4%) participants reported their institution as a surgical reference for chronic infection lung disease, only 13.1% of surgeons have a high-volume service (more than 11 cases operated annually). The majority (76.2%) of respondents performed 1-5 surgical resection to treat tuberculosis (TB) sequelae, but only 62 (30.1%) had performed more than one resection to treat active TB. Chronic lung infection (76%) and hemoptysis (66%) were the most common symptoms as surgical indications. A proportion of 42.2% of the respondents do not have and/or perform routine drug sensitivity tests. In addition, 19.3% of respondents were not familiar with the recommendations of surgery in the treatment of pulmonary TB. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is available for 80% of respondents, while robotic surgery is for only 10%. Most (86%) surgeons have access to surgical staplers. Among the structural resources, respiratory isolation beds in the intensive care unit (ICU) (80%) and ward (79%) are frequently available resources. However, less than 12% of surgeons have in their institution a specific operating room for sputum-positive patients. Conclusions: Lung resection for chronic infectious disease is an essential area of activity for thoracic surgeons in Brazil, which occurs mainly in the public sphere, with no concentration of cases per surgeon or institution. The lack of adequate resources in many centers justifies the creation of reference centers for improving care for these patients.
