Effect of single-hole thoracoscopic surgical treatment on elderly spontaneous ;pneumothorax patients’ postoperative assessment and serological markers / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the effect of single-hole thoracoscopic surgical treatment on elderly spontaneous pneumothorax patients’ postoperative assessment and serological markers and explore single-hole thoracoscopic surgery application. Methods:78 cases of elderly patients with spontaneous pneumothorax were retrospectively analyzed, and divided into single-hole thoracoscopy group with 35 patients and conventional thoracoscopic group with 43 patients. Then the surgery indicators, postoperative pain scores and perioperative serum target level differences were compared between the two groups. Results: The operative time, postoperative drainage time and total hospital stays of single-hole thoracoscopic surgery patients were shorter than that of conventional thoracoscopic group. The differences were statistically significant (t=7.183, t=5.294, t=6.938;P<0.05). The blood loss and postoperative drainage were less. The differences were statistically significant (t=6.883, t=8.735; P<0.05). The postoperative pain scores within one week was less than conventional thoracoscopic group. The differences were also statistically significant (t=6.882, t=5.724, t=5.284;P<0.05). The serological indicators, CRP, IL-1, TNF-α,α1-AT levels of patients in the single-hole thoracoscopy group were lower than the conventional group (t=8.293, t=7.274, t=9.284, t=7.183;P<0.05). Conclusion:VATS and conventional hole thoracoscopic surgery can be used for treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax in elderly, but single-hole thoracoscopy has more advantages in reducing surgical trauma and postoperative pain and optimize systemic inflammation associated factors.
