ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of single-incision video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(SI-VATS)in elderly patients undergoing pneumonectomy. Methods The clinical data of elderly patients received pulmonary resection by SI-VATS and three-port video-assist-ed thoracoscopic surgery(TP-VATS)last year were analyzed. Results The SI-VATS group was significantly better than the TP-VATS group in in-cision length,drainage time,as well as the 1st,3rd,7th day VAS score and one month satisfaction after operation(all P0.05). Conclusion SI-VATS pul-monary resection is safe,feasible and with less invasive.
