Background: Buerger and Raynaud diseases are peripheral circulatory disorders that cause ulcers at fingers and affect the quality of life. The aim of this study is to detect the role of sympathectomy via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in Buerger and Raynaud for an effective treatment. Materials and Methods: Study was designed retrospectively on prospective data. Sympathectomy via VATS, was applied to 45 patients who were diagnosed as Buerger or Raynaud disease in a 6-years period. Patients were followed with 6 months intervals. Age, gender, initial symptoms, smoking habit, quality of life with the operation type, duration and hospital stay were recorded. After surgery all datas related to the patient were also noted at follow-up period. Results: Ten of 45 patients were in Buerger disease group and 35 in Raynaud. After VATS, existing finger ulcers were regressed 100% and regression in symptoms was more than 70% for both diseases. For overall, progression in life quality was noted as more than 95% of patients. Median hospital-stay was 2 days. There was no mortality and serious complication. Pneumothorax was the most common complication. Conclusions: In order to increase the life quality of the patients and prevent the tissue loss, sympathectomy seems the only satisfactory surgical method of treatment for Buerger and Raynaud diseases especially for the circularity disorders of upper extremities.

Background: Our aim in this study was to evaluate prognostic factors affecting survival and disease-free survival (DFS) in the subgroups of stage IIB NSCLCs. Materials and Methods: Patients with stage IIB NSCLC who underwent surgery in our hospital between January 2006 and December 2015 were included in the study. The patients were evaluated in two groups: T3N0 patients staged as IIB due to pN0 (Group A) and T1N1/T2N1 patients (Group B). Results: Of the 192 patients were included in the study. There were 47 patients in group A (24.5%) and 145 patients in group B (75.5%). 5-year survival rates was 58.2%. There was no statistically significant difference in survival according to T stage. The 5-year survival rates in the T1, T2, and T3 groups were 69%, 55.3%, and 54.6%, respectively (p = 0.34). The main prognostic factors affecting survival were advanced age (p = 0.02). The mean DFS was 72 months and the 5-year DFS rate was 54%. Advanced age and male sex, were identified as poor prognostic factors for DFS (p < 0.005). Conclusions: The stage IIB category remains heterogeneous despite the updated eighth edition IASCL staging system. The results of our study indicate that age was the main prognostic factors affecting survival in stage IIB NSCLC. However, the effect of visceral pleural invasion and lymph node involvement on survival in stage IIB subgroups was not detected, more comprehensive multicenter studies are still needed.
