Complications Associated With Lymphadenectomy (LAD) in Surgical Treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Systemic mediastinal lymph node dissection is a standard step in radical surgery for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it does not carry the risks associated with certain procedures (chylothorax, recurrent nerve palsy, diaphragmatic relaxation, intrapleural hemorrhage, injury to other chest organs (esophagus, great vessels), etc.). Data on their incidence and predictors in routine practice are limited. Objective: To assess trends and characteristics of projects directly related to Lymph Node Dissection and to identify independent risk factors for their development.
