Effects of the prolonged thoracic epidural analgesia on ventilation function and complication rate after the lung cancer surgery.
2006
Thoracic epidural analgesia has been considered to have a good anesthetic efficacy and to decrease the postoperative complication rate, while its effect upon the ventilation function is still the topic of many clinical studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the course of early postoperative period using thoracic epidural analgesia. Material and methods. A total of 453 patients undergoing the operation due to the non–small cell carcinoma were selected and examined. Their postoperative complications and mortality rate were evaluated. In 79 patients, arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second, and the efficacy of analgesia wer…
Does age over 80 years have to be a contraindication for lung cancer surgery—a nationwide database study
2018
IF 1.804 (2017); International audience; Background: Nowadays surgery remains the best treatment for localized lung cancer (LC). However, patients over 80 years old are often denied surgery because of the postoperative risk of death. This study aimed to estimate in-hospital mortality (IHM) and determine whether age over 80 is the most important predictor of IHM after LC surgery.Methods: From January 2005 to December 2015, 97,440 patients, including 4,438 patients over 80 years old, were operated on for LC and recorded in the French Administrative Database. Characteristics of patients, hospitals and surgery were analysed.Results: Crude IHM was 3.73% (n=3,639) and 7.77% (n=345) for the over 8…

Effects of hospital facilities on patient outcomes after cancer surgery
2022
© 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. This is an Open Access article under the CC BY 4.0 licenseBackground: Early death after cancer surgery is higher in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared with in high-income countries, yet the impact of facility characteristics on early postoperative outcomes is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the association between hospital infrastructure, resource availability, and processes on early outcomes after cancer surgery worldwide. Methods: A multimethods analysis was performed as part of the GlobalSurg 3 study—a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study of patients who had surgery for breast, colorectal,…
Renal cancer surgery in the elderly.
2009
Renal cell carcinoma mainly develops in the sixth or seventh decade of life. As life expectancy increases, urologists have to deal with elderly patients presenting with renal cancer. The introduction of ablative techniques has even widened our armamentarium of treating elderly patients with renal cancer apart from the standard laparoscopic and open surgical procedures. Our review highlights the current literature focusing on the functional and oncological outcome of surgically treated renal cancer in elderly patients.Despite the higher percentage of comorbidities, perioperative morbidity and declined renal reserve in elderly patients, radical or partial nephrectomy being performed open or l…
Impact of surgeon organization and specialization in rectal cancer outcome.
2001
Purpose The present study was designed to assess the differences in the outcome of patients with rectal cancer treated by a group of surgeons before and after being organized as a Coloproctology Unit at the same University Department of Surgery. Methods Comparison of two periods of rectal cancer surgery: I (1986–91) and II (1992–95). Period I: 94 patients were operated on by 14 general surgeons. Period II: 108 patients were operated on by only 4 surgeons of the same group organized as a Colorectal Surgery Unit after visiting referral centres abroad, adopting techniques such as total mesorectal excision (TME) for middle and low rectal cancer and washout of rectal stump. Mean follow-up during…
