the time of anesthesia, surgery, retractor use, and arm

Mediastinal lymph node dissection
PAOLO MACCHIARINI MD, PHD
Professor of Surgery, University of Barcelona Medical School; Chairman, Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Hospital Clinic of Barcelona,
Spain
HISTORY
Although mediastinal lymph node dissection was first mentioned in the 1940s, its optimal extent remains controversial.
Trends have evolved from procedures with virtually no
lymph node sampling to more radical operations including
minimal or more extensive hilar and mediastinal lymph node
sampling, complete ipsilateral mediastinal dissection, and
extended lymph node dissection.
Proponents of the sampling of multiple lymph node stations argue that sampling results in improved staging and less
perioperative morbidity than lymph node dissection.
Conversely, proponents of mediastinal lymph node dissection claim that, without a complete removal of all ipsilateral
mediastinal lymph nodes, patients would be understaged,
and their cure rates worsened. The operative procedure of
extended nodal dissection includes the ipsilateral and contralateral mediastinal nodes and the supraclavicular lymph
nodes, but the magnitude of the operation and the fact that
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will recur in distant
locations has reduced its popularity except for patients
enrolled into clinical trials.
PRINCIPLES AND JUSTIFICATION
The normal patterns of intrathoracic lymphatic drainage are
as follows: On the right, the apical and posterior segments of
the upper lobe drain into the ipsilateral scalene nodes via the
hilar nodes, tracheobronchial angle nodes, and upper paratracheal lymph nodes. The anterior segment of the right
upper lobe drains either as previously described (50% of
cases) or into the right scalene nodes via the subcarinal and
pretracheal lymph nodes, or the anterior mediastinal lymph
nodes. Drainage to the left paratracheal nodes seldom occurs
and proceeds along the left innominate vein, left anterior
mediastinal nodes, and into the left scalene nodes. The middle lobe and superior segment of the lower lobe usually drain
to the ipsilateral scalene nodes via the two paths described
earlier. However, drainage from the middle lobe to the left
scalene nodes through the subcarinal and left paratracheal
nodes also may occur. Drainage from the basal segments of
the lower lobes reaches the subcarinal nodes via the hilar
nodes. Further drainage may reach the right scalene nodes by
way of the right paratracheal lymph nodes. On the left, the
apical and posterior segment of the left upper lobe drain primarily via the subcarinal lymph nodes and then either along
the left vagus nerve to the left scalene nodes or along the
recurrent laryngeal nerve to the mediastinal lymph nodes.
The anterior and lingular segments drain along the phrenic
nerve through the para-aortic nodes to the ipsilateral scalene
lymph nodes. Lymph from the basilar segments flows via the
subcarinal nodes to the pretracheal and contralateral paratracheal lymphatics to the right scalene nodes. Drainage along
the ipsilateral region to high mediastinal lymph nodes also
may occur. Drainage from the superior segment occurs via all
of these paths.
The patterns of intra- and extrapulmonary lymph node
metastasis in patients with NSCLC are as follows: Disease in
all right lung lobes commonly metastasizes to the lymph
nodes along the bronchus intermedius between the origins of
the upper and middle lobe bronchi, whereas tumors in both
left lobes commonly metastasizes to the lymph nodes located
between the origins of the lobar bronchi. Among right upper
lobe tumors, ipsilateral mediastinal lymph nodes represent
the most common metastatic site, whereas spread to the subcarinal, contralateral mediastinal, and scalene nodes is
uncommon. Conversely, left upper lobe tumors spread more
frequently to the contralateral mediastinal and scalene lymph

https://t.me/med1917
nodes. Right lower lobe tumors spread frequently in the subcarinal and ipsilateral mediastinal regions and less rarely in
the contralateral mediastinal or scalene nodes. Left lower lobe
tumors spread mostly to the contralateral scalene and contralateral mediastinal nodes. Watanabe et al. showed, however, that right upper lobe tumors may spread to the
subcarinal lymph nodes, whereas right middle and right
lower lobe tumors commonly spread to the ipsilateral paratracheal lymph nodes. They also found that subcarinal metastases commonly arise from left upper lobe and left lower lobe
tumors.
This predictable sequence of metastases beginning in the
intrapulmonary lymph nodes and progressing to the mediastinal and finally to the scalene lymph nodes is not always
observed, however. The absence of intrapulmonary lymph
node metastases may be documented in almost one-third of
patients with resected NSCLC, and right upper lobe tumors
may commonly skip to the ipsilateral paratracheal lymph
nodes, left upper lobe tumors to the aortopulmonary window
lymph nodes, and lower lobe tumors to the subcarinal region.
The prognosis of NSCLC is directly related to the completeness of resection and the status of the regional lymph
nodes. The 50–80% cure rate of patients without lymph node
involvement (N0 disease) drops to 30–50% if the N1 (hilar)
lymph nodes are involved, and falls further to 10–30% if the
lymph nodes in the mediastinum (N2) are involved. N2 disease can be divided into ‘minimal’ disease, with involvement
of only one node by microscopic foci of tumor, or ‘advanced’,
bulky disease. Only 20% of all cases of N2 disease are technically resectable, and most of them are discovered only at thoracotomy. The challenge is to identify correctly patients with
N0, N1, or minimal N2 disease who are candidates for curative resection and to avoid inappropriate surgery in patients
with advanced N2 or N3 disease. Moreover, patients presumed to have N0 or nonhilar N1 disease at the time of resection have a frequent (10–15%) occurrence of occult
mediastinal lymph node metastases. The principles cited earlier make it evident that the status of the mediastinal lymph
nodes must be known before surgery and that, without this
assessment, a pulmonary resection must be considered as an
incomplete procedure.
PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT AND
PREPARATION
A growing body of evidence indicates that positron-emission
tomography (PET) with fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose is
more accurate than computed tomography (CT) in the mediastinal staging of NSCLC, and that no significant improvement in accuracy is seen when the CT data are added to the
PET result. The recommendation has been that patients with
a positive result on PET study for mediastinal disease
undergo confirmatory surgical mediastinal exploration, so
that no patient is denied potentially curative resection. By
contrast, the high negative predictive value of a negative PET
result should provide the surgeon with the impetus to proceed directly to thoracotomy without invasive mediastinal
staging. Such a philosophy is certainly followed in North
America, where Medicare and many third-party insurers
reimburse the costs of PET.
This algorithm is not yet the case in Europe, where CT and
invasive mediastinal investigation still represent the reimbursed staging tools. Except in patients with hilar and mediastinal nodes measuring less than 1 cm in the short-axis
diameter on preoperative CT scan, mediastinoscopy should
be routinely performed preoperatively, especially for leftsided tumors for which the exposure of the left paratracheal
nodes is restrained anatomically. Mediastinoscopy should
not replace a lymph node dissection, however, but represents
the essential tool to obtain a histological and anatomical
description of the mediastinal lymph node status.
ANESTHESIA
The anesthetic management mirrors that for the other major
pulmonary resections. In our experience, however, the
avoidance of perioperative fluid overload reduces the postoperative risks of mechanical noncariogenic edema of the
residual lobes. Special care should be given to those patients
who have had neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation
therapy in whom mediastinal lymph node dissection is likely
to result in additional fluid imbalances in the residual lung
tissues.
OPERATIONS
Three approaches can be taken to the intraoperative assessment of the extrapulmonary lymph nodes:
1 Systematic sampling
2 Complete lymph node dissection
3 Extended lymph node dissection
Whichever technique is used, it is mandatory to uniformly
label the intrathoracic lymph nodes according to a regional
mediastinal lymph node classification (Table 28.1), such as
that adapted from Mountain et al., which is the one used in
my institution. To ensure accuracy and consistency, intraoperative labeling of the level of all harvested lymph nodes must
be correct and reproducible, and having the lymph node map
in the operative room is very helpful. Although mediastinal
lymph node sampling or dissection can be accomplished
either before or after the planned lung resection, the wiser
course is to determine the lymph node status first to see
whether this factor will alter the nature of the operative procedure. Metallic clips are used only to delineate the proximal
and distal margins of the dissection to guide postoperative
radiation planning; hemostasis is usually obtained with
absorbable ligatures.

The American College of Surgical Oncologists suggests designating the lower paratracheal nodes as No. 4s (superior) and No. 4i (inferior) subsets for study
purposes; the No. 4s nodes may be defined by a horizontal line extending across the trachea and drawn tangential to the cephalic border of the of the azygos vein;
the No. 4i nodes may be defined by the lower boundary of No. 4s and the lower boundary of No. 4, as described earlier.

tion of each of the mediastinal lymph node levels
followed by biopsy of selected lymph nodes, whether or not
they have been exposed by opening the mediastinal pleura.
On the right side (the regional nodal station locations), sampling should include one or two lymph nodes from stations 2,
4, 7, and 10. Levels 2 and 4 may not be resampled at thoracotomy if a mediastinoscopy had shown negative lymph nodes.

Complete mediastinal lymph node dissection
Complete mediastinal lymph node dissection refers to the
removal of all the mediastinal nodes found at the common
nodal sites within the ipsilateral hemithorax. This procedure,
which I prefer, is usually best performed through an ipsilat-

two lymph nodes from stations 5, 6, 7, and 10. This approach
may be inaccurate, especially when the in situ lymph nodes
assessment (level and number) is made through an intact
pleura, because it relies on the personal experience of the
operating surgeon as to which and how many nodes are
sampled.
eral posterolateral thoracotomy or a muscle-sparing incision
in the fifth intercostal space. Patients with contralateral
lymph nodes involvement (N3 disease) are usually
approached through a median vertical sternotomy, and this
approach represents my preference for all N3 left-sided
tumors.

SUPERIOR MEDIASTINAL DISSECTION
Operations 303
Dissection of the superior mediastinum (view is as by a
3
right posterolateral thoracotomy) removes all tissue
lying in an area bounded inferiorly by the takeoff of the right
upper lobe, superiorly by the innominate artery, ventrally by
the superior vena cava (SVC), and dorsally by the trachea.
The mediastinal pleura is elevated and opened with a cautery
midway between the trachea and SVC. The dissection is continued to the cephalic border of the azygos vein caudally and
the innominate artery cephalad. Ligation of the azygos vein is
unnecessary. Several small vessels may be present near the
innominate artery that need to be ligated. The right recurrent
nerve should be identified. The fat pad containing the lymph
nodes is bluntly dissected away from the anterolateral borders
of the trachea and posterior aspects of the SVC, grasped in
situ, and then elevated from the medially located posterior
pericardium and aortic arch. Before transection, ligatures or
clips are applied at the most cephalad aspect of the fat pad.
The specimen is removed and labeled as 2R (above aortic
arch) or 4R (below aortic arch). When present, lymph nodes
in front of the SVC and in the retrotracheal area are removed
and labeled as 3A and 3P, respectively (Figure 2). A warm
gauze pad can be placed in the dissection root to enhance
hemostasis.
