Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases postoperative morbidity and is associated with diminished long-term survival after lung cancer resection. Whether this is also true for mild-to-moderate COPD is uncertain. We conducted a retrospective analysis of all the patients who underwent lung cancer surgery between 2002 and 2012 in a university-affiliated hospital. The severity of airflow limitation was stratified according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) from stage 1 to 4. Data from 1456 cases of lung cancer surgery were reviewed and 1126 patients were included in the study: 672 (59.7%) patients had COPD (GOLD 1, n = 340; GOLD 2, n = 282; GOLD 3, n = 50) and 454 patients had a normal spirometry (controls). Following lung cancer resection, patients with COPD had a higher rate of postoperative morbidities of any kind ( p < 0.0001), in particular, pneumonia (7.0% vs. 3.7%; p = 0.0251) and prolonged air leak (17.0% vs. 8.2%; p < 0.0001) than controls. In-hospital mortality was increased in GOLD 3 COPD but the incidence of other postoperative complications was not influenced by COPD severity. Neither COPD nor its severity influenced long-term survival in this population. To conclude, patients with COPD undergoing lung cancer surgery were at higher risk of postoperative complications than patients with normal respiratory function but the procedure was considered safe. The presence of COPD itself did not influence long-term survival. The results of our study apply mainly to patients with a GOLD 1 and 2 COPD since only a small number of patients with GOLD 3 COPD were involved.

Abstract Aim Postoperative complications following the resection of oesophago-gastric carcinoma can result in considerable early morbidity and mortality, however the long-term effects are less clear. Literature reports are mixed, so it remains unclear if complications reduce survival, as has been demonstrated in colorectal cancer. Background & Methods Some 1100 patients who underwent oesophago-gastric resection between 2006-16 were stratified by complication severity to determine the effect of leak and severe non-leak related complications on overall survival, recurrence and disease free survival. Results The median age was 69 years, 48% had stage III disease, with cancer recurrence in 39%. Clavien-Dindo (CD) complications ≥ III occurred in 22.2% of patients. The most common complications were pulmonary (30%), with a 13% incidence of pneumonia, 10% atrial dysrhythmia and 9.6% anastomotic leak. In comparison to CD 0-I complication free patients, those with CD III-IV leak did not suffer a significantly reduced survival. However patients with CD III-IV non-leak related complications were associated with a significant reduction in median overall survival (19.7 vs. 42.7 months) and disease free survival (18.4 vs. 36.4 months). Cox regression revealed age, stage, resection margin, and CD III-IV non-leak complications as independently associated with poor overall and disease free survival. Conclusion This cohort demonstrates that whilst leak does not affect long-term survival, other severe postoperative complications do significantly reduce overall survival and disease recurrence. A reduction in these complications, such as pneumonia, seen with adoption of hybrid / minimally invasive surgery may help change this pattern of disease recurrence and reduced survival.

Abstract   During esophagectomy for cancer, there is no consensus if prophylactic thoracic duct ligation (TDL), with or without thoracic duct resection (TDR), could influence the perioperative outcomes and long-term survival. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared patients who went through esophagectomy associated or not to ligation or resection of the thoracic duct. Methods A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library Central and Lilacs (BVS). The inclusion criteria were: (1) studies that compare thoracic duct ligation, with or without resection, and non-thoracic duct ligation; (2) involve adult patients with esophageal cancer; (3) articles that analyses the outcomes—perioperative complications, perioperative mortality, chylothorax development and overall survival; (4) only clinical trials and cohort were accepted. A 95% confidence interval (CI) was used, and random-effects model was performed. Results Fifteen articles were selected, comprising 6,249 patients. TDL did not reduce the risk for chylothorax (Risk difference [RD]: -0.01; 95%CI: −0.02, 0.00). Also, TDL did not influence the risk for complications (RD: -0.02; 95%CI: −0.11, 0.07); mortality (RD: 0.00; 95%CI: −0.00, 0.00); and reoperation rate (RD: -0.01; 95%CI: −0.02, 0.00). TDR was associated with higher risk for postoperative complications (RD: 0.1; 95%CI 0.00, 0.19); chylothorax (RD: 0.02; 95%CI 0.00, 0.03). Both TDL and TDR did not influence the overall survival rate (TDL: HR: 1.17; 95%CI: 0.86, 1.48; and TDR: HR: 1.16; 95%CI: 0.8, 1.51). Conclusion Thoracic duct obliteration with or without its resection during esophagectomy does not change long term survival. Nonetheless, TDR increased the risk for postoperative complications and chylothorax.

Objective The effect of postoperative complications including red blood transfusion (BT) on long-term survival for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. The purpose of this study was to define the relationship between postoperative complications and long-term survival in patients with HCC. Methods Postoperative complications of 1251 patients who underwent curative liver resection for HCC were classified, and their recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cumulative overall survival (OS) were investigated. Results Any complications occurred in 503 patients (40%). Five-year RFS and 5-year OS in the complication group were 21% and 56%, respectively, significantly lower than the respective values of 32% ( p &lt; 0.001) and 68% ( p &lt; 0.001) in the no-complication group (n=748). Complications related to RFS were postoperative BT [Hazard ratio (HR): 1.726, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.338–2.228, p &lt; 0.001], pleural effusion [HR: 1.434, 95% CI: 1.200–1.713, p &lt; 0.001] using Cox-proportional hazard model. Complications related to OS were postoperative BT [HR: 1.843, 95%CI: 1.380-2.462, p &lt; 0.001], ascites [HR: 1.562, 95% CI: 1.066–2.290 p = 0.022], and pleural effusion [HR: 1.421, 95% CI: 1.150–1.755, p = 0.001). Conclusions Postoperative complications were factors associated with poor long-term survival. Postoperative BT and pleural effusion, were noticeable complications that were prognostic factors for both recurrence-free survival and overall survival.
