The aim of this case report is to shed light on slipping rib syndrome (SRS), a painful and overlooked condition. A 62-year old man reported intermittent, self-resolving sharp rib pain that began after a video-assisted thoracic surgery and chest tube placement 4 years prior to presentation. The patient’s pain was associated with a rigid protrusion in the right upper quadrant, and home use of acetaminophen provided no relief. After physical examination, multiple imaging and lab tests, the patient was diagnosed with SRS and was referred to physical therapy and thoracic surgery for further evaluation. SRS is an under-recognized cause of upper abdominal and lower thoracic pain that should be considered if a patient’s history includes previous trauma or abdominal surgery.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to compare the safety feasibility and safety feasibility of non-intubated (NIVATS) and intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries (IVATS) during major pulmonary resections. Methods A meta-analysis of eight studies was conducted to compare the real effects of two lobectomy or segmentectomy approaches during major pulmonary resections. Results Results showed that the patients using NIVATS had a greatly shorter hospital stay and chest-tube placement time (weighted mean difference (WMD): − 1.04 days; 95% CI − 1.50 to − 0.58; P < 0.01) WMD − 0.71 days; 95% confidence interval (CI), − 1.08 to − 0.34; P < 0.01, respectively) while compared to those with IVATS. There were no significant differences in postoperative complication rate, surgical duration, and the number of dissected lymph nodes. However, through the analysis of highly selected patients with lung cancer in early stage, the rate of postoperative complication in the NIVATS group was lower than that in the IVATS group [odds ratio (OR) 0.44; 95% CI 0.21–0.92; P = 0.03, I2 = 0%]. Conclusions Although the comparable postoperative complication rate was observed for major thoracic surgery in two surgical procedures, the NIVATS method could significantly shorten the hospitalized stay and chest-tube placement time compared with IVATS. Therefore, for highly selected patients, NIVATS is regarded as a safe and technically feasible procedure for major thoracic surgery. The assessment of the safety and feasibility for patients undergoing NIVATS needs further multi-center prospective clinical trials.
