Abstract
Since the approval of neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy in Europe, treatment options for resectable stage II-III NSCLC have also significantly improved in clinical routine. Surgical excision of the tumour by anatomic lung resection still remains the most essential component of multimodal therapy. However, with the increasing use of the new treatment concepts in clinical routine, questions also arise regarding safety, adverse events and technical resectability following neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy. This review summarises the current data on perioperative safety following neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy and discusses aspects of surgical technique, the extent of resection and intraoperative challenges illustrated by clinical case reports.
