Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for acute lung injury after thoracic surgery for lung cancer.
Marc Licker,Marc de Perrot,Anastase Spiliopoulos,John Robert,John Diaper,Catherine Chevalley,Jean-Marie Tschopp +6 more
TL;DR: Two clinical forms of postthoracotomy ALI are described: 1) delayed-onset ALI triggered by intercurrent complications and 2) an early form of ALI amenable to risk-reducing strategies, including preoperative alcohol abstinence, lung-protective ventilatory modes, and limited fluid intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Survival after Lung Metastasectomy in Colorectal Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Michel Gonzalez,Antoine Poncet,Christophe Combescure,John Robert,Hans-Beat Ris,Pascal Gervaz +5 more
TL;DR: Clinical variables associated with prolonged survival after surgery for LM in CRC patients include prolonged disease-free interval between primary tumor and metastatic spread, normal prethoracotomy carcinoembryonic antigen, absence of thoracic node involvement, and a single pulmonary lesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operative Mortality and Respiratory Complications After Lung Resection for Cancer: Impact of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Time Trends
Marc Licker,Igor Widikker,John Robert,Jean-George Frey,Anastase Spiliopoulos,Christoph Ellenberger,Alexandre Schweizer,Jean-Marie Tschopp +7 more
TL;DR: Over the last 5-year period, diagnosis of earlier pathologic cancer stages resulting in lesser pulmonary resection as well as provision of continuous thoracic epidural analgesia have contributed to improved surgical outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute pancreatitis and normoamylasemia. Not an uncommon combination.
Pierre-Alain Clavien,John Robert,P. Meyer,François Borst,Herman Hauser,François Herrmann,Viviane Dunand,Adrien Rohner +7 more
TL;DR: AP does not appear to behave differently when serum amylase is normal or elevated, and should therefore be submitted to similar therapeutic regimens in both conditions, although there was a tendency for normoamylasemic patients to follow milder courses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of intraoperative lung-protective interventions in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery
Marc Licker,John Diaper,Yann Villiger,Anastase Spiliopoulos,Virginie Licker,John Robert,Jean-Marie Tschopp +6 more
TL;DR: Implementing an intraoperative PLV protocol in patients undergoing lung cancer resection was associated with improved postoperative respiratory outcomes as evidence by significantly reduced incidences of acute lung injury and atelectasis along with reduced utilization of intensive care unit resources.
