    Abstract Objectives: Surgical management of pulmonary metastases in colorectal cancer patients is a debated topic. There is currently no consensus on this matter, which sparks considerable risk for international practice variation. The European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) ran a survey to assess current clinical practices and to determine criteria for resection among ESTS members.
    Methods: All ESTS members were invited to complete an online questionnaire of 38 questions on current practice and management of pulmonary metastases in colorectal cancer patients.
    Results: In total, 308 complete responses were received (response rate: 22%) from 62 countries. Most respondents consider that pulmonary metastasectomy for colorectal pulmonary metastases improves disease control (97%) and improves patients' survival (92%). Invasive mediastinal staging in case of suspicious hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes is indicated (82%). Wedge resection is the preferred type of resection for a peripheral metastasis (87%). Minimally invasive approach is the preferred approach (72%). For a centrally located colorectal pulmonary metastasis, the preferred form of treatment is a minimally invasive anatomical resection (56%). During metastasectomy, 67% of respondents perform mediastinal lymph node sampling or dissection. Routine chemotherapy is rarely or never given following metastasectomy (57% of respondents).
    Conclusions: This survey among the ESTS members underlines the change in practice of pulmonary metastasectomy with an increasing tendency in favour of minimally invasive metastasectomy and surgical resection is preferred over other types of local treatment. Criteria for resectability vary and controversy remains regarding lymph node assessment and the role of adjuvant treatment.

    Abstract Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) are rare conditions generally diagnosed in childhood and possibly harboring malignant tumor growths. We describe a unique case of pleomorphic carcinoma in a longstanding type 1 CPAM diagnosed by wedge resection. The patient underwent completion left lower lobectomy and lymphadenectomy, but cancer recurred in nodal station #7 six months later. Clinicians should keep in mind that CPAM may hide radiologically undetectable malignancy in a relevant rate of cases, then requiring surgery in all patients. While MIA is the most common histology in type 1 CPAM, sarcomatoid change has herein been demonstrated.

    Abstract Although the WHO has declared the end of the pandemic emergency, COVID-19 still poses a threat to immunocompromised patients. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread throughout the world over the last two years, causing a significant number of deaths. After three years, SARS-CoV-2 has lost its initial lethality but has shown a significantly worse prognosis for immunocompromised patients, especially those who have undergone lung transplantation, compared with the general population. This paper presents two compelling case studies that highlight the complex challenges of COVID-19 infection in lung transplant recipients. The first case involves a patient who received a bilateral lung transplant for pulmonary artery hypertension in 2009, followed by a kidney transplant in 2022. Surprisingly, despite an initially favorable clinical course after contracting COVID-19, the patient deteriorated rapidly and died within a few days due to extensive lung involvement. This case highlights the unpredictable nature of COVID-19 and its potentially devastating impact on lung transplant recipients. The second case involves a patient who underwent bilateral lung transplantation five years earlier for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This individual also contracted COVID-19 and had pre-existing complications, including chronic lung allograft rejection (CLAD) and diffuse bronchial stenosis. Following viral infection, the patient's clinical condition deteriorated rapidly, with worsening bronchial stenosis. This case highlights the ability of COVID-19 to exacerbate pre-existing pulmonary complications in transplant recipients. These cases highlight the urgent need for increased vigilance and tailored management strategies when dealing with COVID-19 in lung transplant recipients. The unpredictable and detrimental course of the disease observed in these patients highlights the importance of implementing stringent preventive measures, such as vaccination and strict adherence to infection control protocols, in this vulnerable population. Further research is essential to gain a full understanding of the unique dynamics of COVID-19 in lung transplant recipients and to develop targeted interventions to improve their outcomes.

    Abstract Objectives: Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is increasingly used in our specialty. We surveyed European Society of Thoracic Surgeons membership with the objective to determine current status of robotic thoracic surgery practice including training perspectives.
    Methods: A survey of 17 questions was rolled out with 1 surgeon per unit responses considered as acceptable.
    Results: A total of 174 responses were obtained; 56% (97) were board-certified thoracic surgeons; 28% (49) were unit heads. Most responses came from Italy (20); 22% (38) had no robot in their institutions, 31% (54) had limited access and only 17% (30) had full access including proctoring. Da Vinci Xi was the commonest system in 56% (96) centres, 25% (41) of them had dual console in all systems, whereas RATS simulator was available only in half (51.18% or 87). Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) was the most commonly adopted surgical approach in 81% of centres (139), followed by thoracotomy in 67% (115) and RATS in 36% (62); 39% spent their training time on robotic simulator for training, 51% on robotic wet/dry lab, which being no significantly different to 46-59% who had training on VATS platform. There was indeed huge overlap between simulator models or varieties usage; 52% (90) reported of robotic surgery not a part of training curriculum with no plans to introduce it in future. Overall, 51.5% (89) responded of VATS experience being helpful in robotic training in view of familiarity with minimally invasive surgery anatomical views and dissection; 71% (124) reported that future thoracic surgeons should be proficient in both VATS and RATS. Half of the respondents found no difference in earlier chest drain removal with either approach (90), 35% (60) reported no difference in postoperative pain and 49% (84) found no difference in hospital stay; 52% (90) observed better lymph node harvest by RATS.
    Conclusions: Survey concluded on a positive response with at least 71% (123) surgeons recommending to adopt robotics in future.

    Abstract Objective: To provide information on long-term outcomes of Heller myotomy for esophageal achalasia with or without an antireflux fundoplication.
    Background: Since the adoption of the Heller myotomy, surgeons have modified the original technique in order to balance the cure of dysphagia and the consequent cardial incontinence.
    Methods: Totally, 470 patients underwent primary Heller myotomy between 1955 and 2020. A long abdominal myotomy (AM) was performed in 83 patients, the Ellis limited transthoracic myotomy (TM) in 30, the laparotomic Heller-Dor (L-HD) in 202, the videolaparoscopic Heller-Dor (VL-HD) in 155. The HD was performed under intraoperative manometric assessment. Starting on 1973 these patients underwent a prospective follow-up program of timed lifelong clinical, radiological, endoscopic evaluations.
    Results: Median follow-up time was 23.06 years [interquantile range (IQR): 15.04-32.06] for AM, 29.22 years (IQR: 13.46-40.17) for TM, 14.85 years (IQR: 11.05-21.56) for L-HD and 7.51 years (IQR: 3.25-9.60) for VL-HD. In AM, relapse of dysphagia occurred in 25/71 (35.21%), in TM in 11/30 (36.66%), in LH-D in 10/201 (4.97%), in VL-HD in 3/155 (1.93%). Erosive-ulcerative esophagitis was diagnosed for AM in 28.16%, for TM in 30%, for L-HD in 8.45%, for VL-HD in 2.58%. Overall, the outcome was satisfactory in 52.11% for AM, 41.9% for TM, 89.05% for L-HD, 96.12% for VL-HD.
    Conclusions: The Dor fundoplication drastically reduces postmyotomy gastroesophageal reflux. The Heller-Dor operation is a competitive option for the cure of esophageal achalasia if this operation is performed according to the rules of surgical physiology learned by means of intraoperative manometry.

    Abstract Objectives: There is widespread acknowledgement that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has disrupted surgical services. The European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) sent out a survey to assess what impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the practice of thoracic oncology surgery.
    Methods: All ESTS members were invited (13-20 April 2020) to complete an online questionnaire of 26 questions, designed by the ESTS learning affairs committee.
    Results: The response rate was 23.0% and the completeness rate was 91.2%. The number of treated COVID-positive cases per hospital varied from fewer than 20 cases (30.6%) to more than 200 cases (22.7%) per hospital. Most hospitals (89.1%) postponed surgical procedures. All hospitals performed patient screening with a nasopharyngeal swab, but only 6.7% routinely tested health care workers. A total of 20% of respondents reported that multidisciplinary meetings were completely cancelled and 66%, that multidisciplinary decisions were not different from normal practice. Trends were recognized in prioritizing surgical patients based on age (younger than 70), type of surgery (lobectomy or less), size of tumour (T1-2) and lymph node involvement (N1). Sixty-three percent of respondents reported that surgeons were involved in daily care of COVID-19-positive patients. Fifty-three percent mentioned that full personal protective equipment was available to them when treating a COVID-19-positive patient.
    Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has created issues for the safety of health care workers, and surgeons have been forced to change their routine practice. However, there was no consensus about surgical priorities in lung cancer patients, demonstrating the need for the production of specific guidelines.

    Abstract Background: In some patients with complex Superior Sulcus tumors, a combination of surgical accesses may be required. For patients with very large tumors which invade the first ribs anteriorly and without subclavian vessels involvement, we developed a "double-step" technique to facilitate resection and reduce surgical trauma.
    Methods: The technique was performed on five patients with a bulky non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), four of whom had a Superior Sulcus tumor. All patients received a radical wide thoracectomy en-bloc with an upper lobectomy. Neither significant flail chest nor postoperative respiratory complications were observed. The method is based on the possibility of interrupting the medial extremity of the first rib beneath the clavicle through a limited, preliminary parasternal incision. The remaining ribs involved in the resection are also interrupted at the costo-chondral junction, leaving the sternum and clavicle intact. Once the medial limit of the involved ribs has been sectioned, multiple stitches are placed through the peristernal tissues and temporarily left inside the chest. Through a second posterior incision, the en-bloc chest wall and lung resection is easily completed. The previously placed peristernal stitches are collected and used for the medial fixation of the prosthesis.
    Results: Using this technique the resection was radical in all cases. No major postoperative complications were registered.
    Conclusions: The technique has several advantages: trauma related to double access is negligible; radical resection is facilitated, anterior chest wall resection is accomplished without sternal or clavicular injury, en-bloc chest wall and lung resection is made straightforward despite the extended area of resected ribs attached to the tumor, released within the chest cavity; chest wall stabilization is simple and reliable. The only disadvantage is that the patient's surgical position needs to be changed.

    Abstract Background: Therapy for end-stage achalasia is debated, and data on long-term functional results of myotomy and esophagectomy are lacking. We compared quality of life and objective outcomes after pull-down Heller-Dor and esophagectomy.
    Methods: The study included 32 patients, aged 57 years (interquartile range [IQR], 49-70 years), who underwent the Heller-Dor operation with verticalization of the distal esophagus in case of first instance treatment or failed surgery caused by insufficient myotomy, and 16 patients, aged 58 years (IQR, 49-67 years; P = .806), who underwent esophagectomy after failed surgery for other causes. Data were extracted from a database designed for prospective clinical research. Postoperative dysphagia, reflux symptoms, and endoscopic esophagitis were graded by semiquantitative scales. Quality of life was assessed with the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire.
    Results: The median follow-up period was 68 months (IQR, 40.43-94.48 months) after pull-down Heller-Dor and 61 months (IQR 43.72-181.43 months) after esophagectomy (P = .598). No statistically significant differences were observed for dysphagia (P = .948), reflux symptoms (P = .186), or esophagitis (P = .253). No statistically significant differences were observed in the domains physical functioning (P = .092), bodily pain (P = .075) or general health (P = .453). Significant differences were observed in favor of pull-down Heller-Dor for the domains role physical (100 vs 100, P = .043), role emotional (100 vs 0, P = .002), vitality (90 vs 55, P< .001), mental health (92 vs 68, P = .002), and social functioning (100 v s75, P = .011).
    Conclusions: The pull-down Heller-Dor achieved objective results similar to those of esophagectomy with a better quality of life. This technique may be the first choice for end-stage achalasia in patients with null or low risk for cancer or after recurrent dysphagia caused by insufficient myotomy.
