Title: Effect of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in thoracic disease
Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery( VATS) in thoracic disease,and the feasibility to carry out VATS for basic hospital. Methods The data of VATS treatment were collected to compare the differences between study group and control group,and evaluate the the feasibility to carry out VATS for basic hospital. Results The operation time was( 100. 75 ± 22. 72) min, blood loss was( 54. 27 ± 26. 21) mL,postoperative drainage was( 920. 67 ± 171. 99) mL. The postoperative complications were fewer,postoperative hospital stay was shorter,incision time was shorter( P = 0. 000) and pain scores was lower( P = 0. 000) in study group than that in control group. Basic hospital has the capacity to conduct this technical. Conclusion VATS is feasible to carry out in basic hospital.
