Résumé

Anastomotic insufficiency is a feared complication after sleeve lobectomy. Bronchoscopy can help to identify anastomoses at risk. We evaluated negative predictors of anastomotic healing using a bronchoscopic grading system in a large collective of lung cancer patients. From 2006 to 2019, 541 sleeve lobectomies for lung cancer were performed. Anastomotic healing was documented by bronchoscopy on the seventh postoperative day using a standardized classification system for anastomotic grading (grade 1, perfect healing to 5, insufficiency). Grade 1 and 2 were considered satisfactory and the patients were discharged. Grade 3 or higher was considered critical. These patients received systemic antibiotic treatment and re-bronchoscopy was performed 4 days later. In 18.5% of the patients, the anastomosis was assessed as critical. 19% of patients with critical anastomosis on the 7th postoperative day developed anastomotic insufficiency during the postoperative course, compared to 0.2% in patients with satisfactory anastomotic healing. Bilobectomies, low preoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) values, high preoperative levels of C-reactive protein and neoadjuvant radiation were identified as independent risk factors for critical anastomotic healing. Bronchoscopic assessment of anastomotic healing is an effective tool to identify critical anastomoses. Neoadjuvant radiation, bilobectomies and acute or chronic inflammation were independent risk factors for bronchial healing disorders and should be considered at the planning stage of surgery.

Background UNASSIGNED
Anastomotic insufficiency is a feared complication after sleeve lobectomy. Bronchoscopy can help to identify anastomoses at risk. We evaluated negative predictors of anastomotic healing using a bronchoscopic grading system in a large collective of lung cancer patients.
Methods UNASSIGNED
From 2006 to 2019, 541 sleeve lobectomies for lung cancer were performed. Anastomotic healing was documented by bronchoscopy on the seventh postoperative day using a standardized classification system for anastomotic grading (grade 1, perfect healing to 5, insufficiency). Grade 1 and 2 were considered satisfactory and the patients were discharged. Grade 3 or higher was considered critical. These patients received systemic antibiotic treatment and re-bronchoscopy was performed 4 days later.
Results UNASSIGNED
In 18.5% of the patients, the anastomosis was assessed as critical. 19% of patients with critical anastomosis on the 7th postoperative day developed anastomotic insufficiency during the postoperative course, compared to 0.2% in patients with satisfactory anastomotic healing. Bilobectomies, low preoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) values, high preoperative levels of C-reactive protein and neoadjuvant radiation were identified as independent risk factors for critical anastomotic healing.
Conclusions UNASSIGNED
Bronchoscopic assessment of anastomotic healing is an effective tool to identify critical anastomoses. Neoadjuvant radiation, bilobectomies and acute or chronic inflammation were independent risk factors for bronchial healing disorders and should be considered at the planning stage of surgery.
