Application of the bronchial priority treatment method in single-port thoracoscopic right upper lung lobectomy / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the safety, effectiveness, economy and surgical techniques of bronchial priority treatment in single-port thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy by comparing it with conventional single-port thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy.Methods:Clinical data of 72 patients who underwent single-port thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy from Mar. 2019 to Feb. 2022 were collected. According to different surgical treatment sequences, the patients were divided into observation group (bronchial priority treatment, 36 cases) and control group (conventional surgery, 36 cases). The general clinical characteristics, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, postoperative pain score, and number of staplers used in the two groups were compared.Results:All operations were successfully completed without conversion to thoracotomy. There was no significant difference between the two groups in clinical characteristics, intraoperative blood loss [ (25.3±12.8) ml vs 32.5±14.2) ml, P>0.05], postoperative hospital stay[ (4.7±1.6) d vs (4.9±1.5) d, P>0.05], postoperative pain score [ (3.3±1.1), (4.8±1.4), (3.7±1.1) vs (3.5±1.2), (5.5±1.4), (4.1±1.4), P>0.05], number of lymph node dissection (9.1±1.8 vs 8.3±1.7, P>0.05), or postoperative complications (16.7% vs 27.8%, P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had significant advantages in the operation time [ (87.2±6.1) vs (106.4±21.8) min, P<0.05] and the number of staplers used (3.7±0.8 vs 5.8±1.3, P<0.05) . Conclusions:Single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic right upper lobe resection with bronchial priority treatment is safe and effective. It simplifies the surgical procedure, reduces the use of disposable consumables, does not increase the risk of perioperative period, and has clinical application prospects.
