ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#Lung cancer is currently the leading malignant tumor in both domestic and foreign morbidity and mortality. Surgical treatment is the main treatment option for lung cancer. The aim of this study is to explore the effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) combined with respiratory function exercise combined with single-hole thoracoscopic surgery on lung cancer patients with postoperative pulmonary complications, postoperative pain, time to get out of bed, time to extubation and length of hospital stay.@*METHODS@#A total of 240 patients who underwent endoscopic lung cancer surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University and the Yancheng First People's Hospital from October 2017 to October 2019 were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 60 patients in each group. Patients in group A underwent single-hole thoracoscopic surgery, and preoperatively performed ERAS concept education and respiratory function training; group B used conventional 3-hole thoracoscopic surgery, and performed ERAS concept education and respiratory function training before operation; group C used conventional 3-hole thoracoscopic operation surgery, routine hospitalization education and nursing guidance, routine respiratory function training, no preoperative ERAS concept education; group D used single-hole thoracoscopic surgery, routine hospitalization education and nursing guidance, routine respiratory function training, no preoperative ERAS concept mission. The number of postoperative pulmonary complications, postoperative pain, time to get out of bed, extubation time, and hospital stay were recorded in the four groups.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the groups B, C, and D, the incidence of pulmonary complications was significantly reduced, and the time to get out of bed, extubation time, and hospital stay were significantly shortened in group A. Compared with groups B, C, the postoperative pain was significantly reduced in group A. Compared with group C, the pulmonary complications were significantly reduced, and the time to get out of bed, extubation time and hospital stay were significantly shortened in group B. The differences were statistically significant (P0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#For patients with single-hole thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery, the ERAS concept guidance can effectively reduce the incidence of pulmonary complications and postoperative pain, shorten the time to get out of bed, the time to extubate, and the length of hospital stay.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#Thoracoscopic lobectomy combined with mediastinal lymph node dissection has been considered as one of the standard surgical procedures for early lung cancer. After 20 years of development, thoracoscopic lobectomy has reached a consensus on reliability and minimally invasive. At present, thoracoscopic lobectomy has a variety of incisions, which gradually evolve into four holes based on three holes, and two or one hole as the operative approach. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of four-hole unilateral dissecting lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical value of anatomical lobectomy with mediastinal lymphadenectomy under four-hole completely video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (C-VATS) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.@*METHODS@#The patients undergoing lobectomy with mediastinal lymphadenectomy for NSCLC were identified in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Yangzhou First People's Hospital, Yangzhou University from March 2015 to July 2016. Preoperative clinical diagnosis of peripheral-type early NSCLC. The patients were randomly divided into four-hole monophasic group (experimental group) and three-hole group (control group) according to the number of hospitalization before surgery. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, the 39 cases assign in experimental group and 34 cases in the control group, including 36 males and 37 females; aged 38 to 84 years. The mean operation time, average blood loss, lymph node dissection group, average drainage, average extubation time and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups for statistical analysis.@*RESULTS@#The two groups of patients were successfully completed surgery, no death after surgery. Mean bleeding in the two groups, the number of lymph node dissection group, the average postoperative drainage, the average time of extubation, postoperative complications, with no significant difference. The average operation time of the four-hole unidirectional group was shorter than that of the three-hole group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The safety and efficacy of a four-hole one-way operation under VATS are satisfactory. The operation is smooth during operation, which shortens the course of operation and deserves the clinical promotion. .
