Abstract
BackgroundVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been shown to reduce hospital stays and pain compared with open lobectomy to treat non-small cell lung cancer. Because of the low rate of deaths, it is difficult to show differences in survival in individual studies. The objective of this study was to compare short- and long-term mortality by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsThe reviewers systematically searched studies that compared VATS vs open lobectomy and provided data on 30-day mortality or long-term survival (>5 years). For long-term outcomes, studies included patients with the same cancer stage or, if several stages were included, the studies had to control for cancer stage in their propensity score model. A pooled odds ratio and hazard ratio (HR) was respectively calculated for short- and long-term outcomes.ResultsA total of 33 works were identified, comprising 61,633 patients. VATS led to lower postoperative mortality (odds ratio, 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56 to 0.73) and higher long-term survival (HR, .88; 95% CI, 0.81 to 0.96). Disease-free survival was similar in both groups (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.80 to 1.10).ConclusionsFor non-small cell lung cancer treated with lobectomy, VATS was associated with lower postoperative mortality and greater long-term survival compared with open lobectomy. Disease-free survival was similar between both groups.
