Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Chest tubes cause pain and morbidity. This is a quality initiative study and review of patients who underwent robotic pulmonary resection by 1 surgeon (R.J.C.). The goal was to remove chest tubes within 4 to 12 hours after robotic segmentectomy and lobectomy. Primary outcome was removal without the need for reinsertion, thoracentesis, or any morbidity due to early removal of the chest tube. Secondary outcomes were symptomatic pneumothorax, pleural effusion, chylothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, and chest tube reinsertion or thoracentesis within 60 days of surgery. Between January 2018 and December 2022, 590 patients underwent robotic lobectomy or segmentectomy. Chest tubes were removed within 4 to 12 hours postoperatively in 63.5% of patients (375/590). In 2022, this was achieved in 91% after lobectomy (119/128) and 94% after segmentectomy (75/80). There were significantly more chest tubes removed within 4 to 12 hours postoperatively from 2020 to 2022 than pre-2020 ( P < .001). Forty patients (6.8%) were discharged home on postoperative day 1 with a chest tube. Sixteen patients (2.7%) had post–chest tube removal increasing pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema; none required tube reinsertion. There was no 30-day or 90-day mortality. Twelve patients (2%) had an outpatient thoracentesis for effusion within 60 days. Twenty patients (3.3%) were readmitted, none seemingly related to effusions. Nonsmokers ( P = .04) and segmentectomy ( P = .001) were associated with chest tube removal within 4 to 12 hours of surgery. Chest tubes can be safely removed within 4 to 12 hours after robotic segmentectomy and lobectomy. Factors associated with successful early chest tube removal are nonsmoking, segmentectomy, and team members becoming comfortable with the process.
