OUTCOME
No deaths occurred in a series of 3 914 primary and 1 221 reoperative thoracic outlet syndrome decompressive procedures. The major complication observed was the leav­ing of a rib remnant by the initial surgeon from which fibro­cartilage and new bone regenerated, producing a high incidence of recurrence. More retractor help (two arm holders) and increased light improved the technique and facilitated the initial operation. These maneuvers minimized the time of anesthesia, surgery, retractor use, and arm holding.

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

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.

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 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-

Operations 303
Dissection of the superior mediastinum (view is as by a

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.
