    Adverse events after pleurodesis in patients with malignant pleural effusion
    (2020) TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini; COSTA, Priscila Berenice da; VEGA, Alberto Jorge Monteiro Dela; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel
    Background: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is an important sign of advanced disease in metastatic cancer. Pleurodesis is one option to treat recurrent MPE. The Inflammatory response after pleurodesis may lead to important adverse events (AE) in a set of very ill patients. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients submitted to pleurodesis (2009-2013). Clinical and laboratory data were collected. We compare the values in the day of pleurodesis, 2nd, 5th and 10th days after. Results: One hundred fourteen patients were undergone to pleurodesis with silver nitrate (46%), iodine (52%) and talc (2%). Female was the most frequent (86%) and the breast cancer was the most common primary site. The most frequent adverse event was low hemoglobin account (37), followed by pain (31). 68% of patients presented AEs and 28% had at least one AE with grade 3 or higher. The most altered was CRP that peaked in the 5th day after pleurodesis. Changes in CRP curve were less severe with the use of iodine when compared with the other two agents. Conclusions: Pleurodesis leads to important systemic inflammatory response detected by different serum markers. The occurrence of adverse events in this set of patients was great number of events with being marked as grade 3 or higher.

    (2024) FONINI, Jaqueline Schaparini; ARAUJO, Pedro Henrique Xavier Nabuco de; 'AMBROSIO, Paula Duarte D.; SALERNO, Juliana Vieira de Oliveira; CIARALO, Pedro Prosperi Desenzi; TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini; PE, Paulo Manuel
    Introduction: Almost 20 % of patients with Non-Seminomatous Germinative Cell Tumors (NSGCT) will require intrathoracic metastasectomy after chemotherapy. The authors aim to determine their long-term survival rates. Methods: Retrospective study including patients with NSGCT and intrathoracic metastasis after systemic therapy from January 2011 to June 2022. Treatment outcomes and overall survival were analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Thirty-seven male patients were included with a median age of 31.8 years. Six presented with synchronous mediastinum and lung metastasis, nine had only lung, and 22 had mediastinal metastasis. Over half had retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis. Twenty-two had dissimilar pathologies, with a discordance rate of 62 %. Teratoma and embryonal carcinoma were the prevalent primary tumor types, 40.5 % each, while teratoma was predominant (70.3 %) in the metastasis group. Thoracotomy was the main surgical approach (39.2 %) followed by VATS (37.2 %), cervico-sternotomy (9.8 %), sternotomy (5.8 %), and clamshell (3.9 %). Lung resection was performed in 40.5 % of cases. Overall, 10-year survival rates were 94.3 % with no surgical-related mortality. Conclusion: Multimodality treatment with systemic therapy followed by radical surgery offers a high cure rate to patients with intrathoracic metastatic testicular germ cell tumors.

    Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery reduces perioperative complications and achieves a similar long-term survival profile as posterolateral thoracotomy in clinical N2 stage non-small cell lung cancer patients: a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial
    (2021) HUANG, Jia; TIAN, Yu; LI, Chongwu; SHEN, Yaofeng; LI, Hecheng; LV, Fanzhen; LIN, Hao; LU, Peiji; LIN, Jules; LAU, Christopher; TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini; JIANG, Long; LUO, Qingquan
    Background: Our previous study demonstrated the safety and short-term efficacy of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) in clinical N2 (c-N2) stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. From this, the present study was devised, in which the follow-up time and sample size were both extended to explore the long-term efficacy and potential benefit in survival of RATS compared with lobectomy in c-N2 stage NSCLC patients. Methods: Patients with c-N2 NSCLS were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to accept operation through thoracotomy or RATS. The da Vinci Surgical System (Si/Xi) was applied in the RATS group, while conventional lobectomy with a rib-spreading incision was applied in the posterolateral thoracotomy group. Primary endpoint was defined as disease free survival and overall survival (OS) of all recruited patients. Results: Compared with posterolateral thoracotomy group (N=72), the RATS group (N=76) had a reduced blood loss (P<0.001), decreased drainage duration (P=0.002), and decreased postoperative pain visual analog score (all P<0.001), but increased overall cost (P<0.001). Meanwhile, no difference in the other postoperative complications (such as air leakage, subcutaneous emphysema, atrial fibrillation etc.) was found between the RATS group and the posterolateral thoracotomy group (all P>0.05). Regarding long-term outcome, no difference in disease-free survival (DFS; P=0.925) or OS (P=0.853) was observed between the RATS group and posterolateral thoracotomy group. Subgroup analyses and multivariable Cox regression analyses also found no difference in DFS or OS between the RATS group and posterolateral thoracotomy groups. Conclusions: RATS reduced intraoperative bleeding, drainage duration, postoperative pain, and achieved similar long-term survival outcomes compared with posterolateral thoracotomy in c-N2 stage NSCLC patients.

    Multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis
    (2017) GOUVEA, Filippe Moura de; TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini; LIMA, Carlos Eduardo Teixeira; HADDAD, Rui
    The advent of effective antituberculous medication has greatly diminished the role of surgery in the management of tuberculosis (TB). More recently, diseases that are resistant to medical treatment have emerged as a major challenge. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) is defined as resistance to two or more drugs, including rifampin and isoniazid. In such cases, high relapse rates with medical therapy alone have been reported and adjuvant surgical resection has been proposed as a therapeutic option in selected patients. Although many studies have shown good results with this surgical strategy, the role of minimally invasive surgery in this scenario has yet to be established. Here we review the indications of surgical resection for MDRTB and the role of minimally invasive surgery for infectious / inflammatory diseases of the lungs.

    Robotic lobectomy: how to teach thoracic residents
    (2021) TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini; LEITE, Pedro Henrique Cunha; VEGA, Alberto Jorge Monteiro Dela
    Robotic thoracic surgery emerged at the beginning of the 21st century and keep presenting the continuous development of its robotic systems, tools, and associated techniques. Strong clinical results including safety and oncological outcomes have fostered the dissemination of the robotic platform all over the world. However, there are still some safety concerns, especially regarding more elaborated procedures as lung resections, during the learning curve. In consequence, training programs for surgeons and surgery residents have been proposed to put into operation a strong and complete curriculum for robotic surgery and increase safety during the learning process. Also, the implementation of the training program makes the process complete and efficient. Lung lobectomies are complex procedures especially because of pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins dissection, which demands quite accurate skills. Consequently, it is believed that specific training of thoracic surgery residents in robotic lobectomy is capital. The ideal curriculum must include technical content and broad psychomotor training using virtual reality models and also physical and animal models. Valid evaluation methods can be used from the first skill training to daily clinical practice. At the beginning as a console surgeon, the resident must initiate gradually with small procedures and progress to more complex surgeries before performing the whole lobectomy.

    Brazilian airway surgery survey indicates low overall numbers and need for improved teaching skills
    (2024) BIBAS, Benoit Jacques; MINAMOTO, Helio; CARDOSO, Paulo Francisco G.; CREMONESE, Mariana Rodrigues; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini
    OBJECTIVES The Brazilian Society of Thoracic Surgeons conducted an online survey to determine the number of surgeons that perform adult and paediatric airway surgery and to understand the practice patterns along the country.METHODS Active members were electronically invited to complete the questionnaire through the REDCapR platform. Invitations were sent from January to April 2020. The survey encompassed 40 questions that explored 4 different topics in the assessment of tracheal diseases: (i) surgeon's demography; (ii) institutional profile, (iii) education and training in laryngo-tracheal surgery and (iv) preoperative and postoperative evaluation.RESULTS Eighty-nine percentage of the responders declared to perform tracheal surgery with a median of 5 tracheal resection procedures per year [interquartile range (IQR) 3-12]. Interaction with other specialties occurs in 37.3% of cases. Access to technology and devices is highly variable across the country. Resident training in airway surgery consists in traditional lectures in 97% of the cases. Training in animals (15.2%), cadavers (12.1%) and simulators (6.1%) are rare. Preoperatory evaluation encompasses flexible bronchoscopy (97.8%) and/or computed tomography (CT) scan of the airways (90.6%). Swallowing (20.1%) and voice (14.4%) disorders are rarely evaluated. Eighty-nine percentage of the surgeons consider bronchoscopy to be the preoperatory gold-standard exam, followed by CT scan (38.8%) and CT-3D reconstruction (37.4%).CONCLUSIONS Brazilian surgeons refer that airway resection and reconstruction are part of their current practice, but the total number of procedures per surgeon per year is low. Access to high-end technology and equipment is heterogenous. Training offered to residents in most academic institutions relies on traditional lectures. Surgery of the trachea is a highly specialized field.

    Management of lung nodules in Brazil-assessment of realities, beliefs and attitudes: a study by the Brazilian Society of Thoracic Surgery (SBCT), the Brazilian Thoracic Society (SBPT) and the Brazilian College of Radiology (CBR)
    (2018) TSUKAZAN, Maria Teresa Ruiz; TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini; DETTERBECK, Frank; SANTORO, Ilka Lopes; HOCHHEGGER, Bruno; MEIRELLES, Gustavo de Souza Portes; FORTUNATO, Gustavo; PRADO, Gustavo Faibischew
    Background: Pulmonary nodules are common; some are inconsequential while others are malignant. Management of solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in Brazil appears to be highly variable, potentially leading to suboptimal outcomes. Assessment of the variability and the association with the degree of availability of resources can provide a foundation for development of clinical guidelines for management of SPN specific for the Brazilian setting. Methods: A web-based survey was developed by thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists and radiologists to evaluate SPN perception and management. This survey was sent to their respective national societies members and answers collected between August and December 2016. That included multiple choice questions regarding age, specialty, SPN management, accessibility to exams and interventional procedures characterizing public (SUS) and supplementary private working settings. Results: A total of 461 questionnaires were answered. More than half of participants live in cities with over one million people. Specialties were reasonable equilibrated with 43.5% radiologists, 33.5% thoracic surgeons, 20.3% pulmonologists and 2.6% others. Most of the respondents work in both public and private sector (72.7%). Private has a similar reality compared to well-developed nations regarding exams accessibility and interventions. SUS setting has a significant variability access according to the participants. CT is only easily available in 31.9% of cases, PET-CT is easily available in 24.4%, bronchoscopy is easily available for 42.8%, transthoracic needle biopsy is only easily available in 13.9% and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) biopsy is not available in 19.5%. When there is a probability of malignancy of 50% or higher, 46.5% of participants would be comfortable recommending surgical biopsy. When the probability is higher than 10%, only 36.9% would be comfortable following up radiologically. Conclusions: Brazil has a very different setting for public and private patients regarding exams accessibility and management options. That might explain why participants have a higher tendency to choose interventional diagnosis and explains why current guidelines may not be applicable to developing countries reality.

    Current morbimortality and one-year survival after pneumonectomy for infectious diseases
    (2023) D'AMBROSIO, Paula Duarte; MARIANI, Alessandro Wasum; JR, Eserval Rocha; MEDEIROS, Israel Lopes de; OLIVEIRA, Leonardo Cesar Silva; NETO, Antero Gomes; TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel
    Objective: Identify the one-year survival rate and major complications in patients submitted to pneumonectomy for infectious disease.Methods: Retrospective data from all cases of infectious disease pneumonectomy over the past 10 years were collected from two reference centers. The authors analyzed: patient demographics, etiology, laterality, bronchial stump treatment, presence of previous pulmonary resection, postoperative complications in the first 30 days, the treatment used in pleural complications, and one-year survival rate.Results: 56 procedures were performed. The average age was 44 years, with female predominance (55%). 29 cases were operated on the left side (51%) and the most frequent etiology was post-tuberculosis (51.8%). The overall incidence of complications was 28.6% and the most common was empyema (19.2%). Among empyema cases, 36.3% required pleurostomy, 27.3% required pleuroscopy and 36.3% underwent thoracoplasty for treatment. Bronchial stump fistula was observed in 10.7% of cases. From all cases, 16.1% were completion pneumonectomies and 62.5% of these had some complication, a significantly higher incidence than patients without previous surgery (p = 0.0187). 30-day in-hospital mortality was (7.1%) with 52 cases (92.9%) and 1-year survival. The causes of death were massive postoperative bleeding (1 case) and sepsis (3 cases).Conclusions: Pneumonectomy for benign disease is a high-risk procedure performed for a variety of indications. While morbidity is often significant, once the perioperative risk has passed, the one-year survival rate can be very satisfying in selected patients with benign disease.

    Robotic lung resection: a narrative review of the current role on primary lung cancer treatment
    (2022) ROCHA JUNIOR, Eserval; TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini
    Background and Objective: Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has increasingly been applied to primary lung cancer treatment. Given the many facilities provided by the robotic platform in the manipulation of tissues and precision of movements, there is continuous enquiring about its contribution to the improvement of surgical outcomes. Also, the possibility to perform complex resections in a minimally invasive way using a robotic approach starts to become possible as the centers' learning curve expands. We propose to perform a review of the current status of robotic surgery for lung cancer focusing on key frontier points: sublobar resections, quality of lymphadenectomy, complex resections, postoperative outcomes, and innovative technologies to arrive. Methods: We performed a narrative review of the literature aggregating the most current references available in English. Key Content and Findings: According to the current data, the flourishing of the robotic platform seems to be in line with the spread of sublobar resections. The technological benefits inherent to the platform, also seem to promote an increase in the quality of lymphadenectomy and a shorter learning curve when compared to video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) with equivalent oncological results. Its application in complex resections such as bronchial sleeve already presents consistent results and new technology acquisitions such as three-dimensional reconstructions, augmented reality and artificial intelligence tend to be implemented collaborating with the digitization of surgery. Conclusions: Robotic surgery for lung cancer resection is at least equivalent to the VATS approach considering the currently available literature. However, more practice time and prospective clinical trials are needed to identify more exact benefits.
