ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of uniportal complete thoracoscopic and conventional three -port thoracoscopic lobectomy in the treatment of lung cancer. Methods A total of 62 cases of lung cancer from January 2012 to January 2016 received lobectomy in our hospital.According to admission sequence number, the patients were randomly divided into either single-port group(n=31)or three-port group(n=31).The single-port group was given uniportal thoracoscopic lobectomy, and the three-port group was given traditional three-port operation of VATS lobectomy.We compared the two groups with intraoperative and postoperative conditions and follow-up outcomes. Results The operations were successfully completed in both groups.There were no significant differences between the two groups in operation time[(182.3 ±77.9)min vs.(177.6 ±69.2)min, t =0.251, P=0.803],intraoperative blood loss[(207.3 ±48.4)ml vs.(226.5 ±52.3)ml,t=-1.500, P=0.139], chest tube indwelling time[(5.5 ±1.6)d vs.(5.7 ±2.0)d, t=0.435, P=0.665], postoperative hospitalization time[(8.7 ±2.7)d vs.(9.0 ± 2.8)d,t=0.925,P=0.0.372],lymph node dissection number[(11.2 ±2.8)vs.(11.7 ±3.1),t=-0.666,P=0.508]and postoperative incidence of complications[9.7%(3/31)vs.12.9%(4/31),χ2=0.000,P=1.000].The VAS scores on the first and fifth postoperative day were(3.1 ±1.1)points and(1.0 ±0.7)points in the single-port group, which were significantly lower than those in the three-port group[(3.9 ±1.4)points,t=-2.502,P=0.015;(1.5 ±0.7)points,t=-2.812,P=0.007].The 62 cases were followed up for 12-36 months(mean,18.4 ±6.4 months)without recurrence and death. Conclusion Single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer has good curative effect and safety as compared with traditional method,being worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the feasibility,safety,technical points and clinical effects of completely thoracoscopic resection of benign neurogenic tumors on apical chest.Methods From January 2004 to June 2009,11 patients underwent surgical resection of benign neurogenic tumours on apical chest.A complete thoracoscopy was used in 5 cases,and the remaining 6 cases received traditional open thoracotomy.By analysis on the clinical symptoms,tumor types,complications,operative time,blood loss and drainage time after operation,the advantages and disadvantages of complete thoracoscopy were compared to traditional open thoracotomy for resection of benign neurogenic tumors on apical chest.Results There was one patient in each group that suffered from light transient Horner's syndrome,who recovered spontaneously.The group of complete thoracoscopy was superior to the group of traditional open thoracotomy in operative time,blood loss during the operation,drainage time and postoperative hospital stay.Conclusion For benign neurogenic tumors on apical chest,a resection with complete thoracoscopy is as safe and effective as the traditional open thoracotomy,and the former is characterized by less operative trauma and quicker recovery.
