Description
Purpose. Details with regard to the standard criteria for a therapeutic metastasectomy and the use of videoassisted thoracic surgery (VATS) remain elusive. To evaluate the feasibility of VATS using a tailor-made virtual lung for patients with pulmonary metastases after chemotherapy, we reviewed the following cases. Methods. Clinical data from October 2006 to April 2010 were obtained from patients who received chemotherapy before a pulmonary metastasectomy (lobectomy or segmentectomy). VATS was the primarily selected surgical approach except for treating hilar lesions. A lobectomy was performed when the metastasis was greater than 3.0 cm in diameter or located deeply in the lobe. Tailormade virtual lungs were created using three-dimensional multidetector computed tomography before lobectomy on a routine basis. The virtual lung consisted of threedimensional pulmonary vessels, a tracheobronchial tree, pulmonary parenchyma, and tumors. Results. Twelve operations, consisting of 1 segmentectomy, 10 lobectomies, and 1 wedge bronchoplasty upper lobectomy, were performed on 11 patients during the study period. VATS was completed in 10 of these 12 operations. The mean operative time for the lobectomies was 257 min, and the mean operative bleeding volumewas 215 ml. Two cases experienced postoperative transient atrial fi brillation, and no mortalities associated with these operations were reported. Conclusion. VATS was performed safely in instances of metastasectomy after chemotherapy, and the tailormade virtual lung assisted in lung orientation during the operation
