Title: Clinical Analysis of Surgical Trauma between Complete Video-assisted Thoracoscopy and Traditional Open Surgery for Lung Cancer
Abstract: Objective To compare the traumatic indicators of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(c-VATS) with traditional open surgery(TOS) for lung cancer patients, and further explore the minimal invasiveness of c-VATS. Methods From January 2010 to February 2013, 45 cases with complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(c-VATS gurop) and 42 cases with traditional open surgery(TOS group) were compared in operation time, intraoperative blood loss,duration of chest drainage, the perioperative cytokine and immune cells(CRP,WBC,N,L),pain score and shoulder function score. Results There was no significant difference between groups in sex, age, pathological type, stage,operating time and the perioperative cytokine and immune cells(CRP,WBC,N,L)(P 0.05);Compared with TOS group,c-VATS group intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced [(167.4±68.5) mL vs(288.6±84.0) mL,P = 0.000];Drainage time of TOS group was significantly longer than that of c-VATS group [(4.64±2.10) days vs(3.20±1.20) days,P =0.000];The postoperative pain measurements in c-VATS group were less than that in TOS group, but the difference between groups was not significant on postoperative 1 day(P = 0.542) and significant on postoperative 3 day,7 day,30 day(P = 0.034,0.000,0.000). Patients activities of daily living scores at postoperative 7 day and 30 day in c-VATS group were significantly better than those in TOS group, with statistically significant differences(P =0.000,0.000). Conclusion Whether the short-term effect or the long-term results,the VATS lung resection is better than the traditional open surgery. c-VATS resection of lung cancer is more invasive.
