Title: Comparative Analysis of Efficacy Between VATS Lobectomy and Thoracotomy Lobectomy for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Abstract: Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of VATS lobectomy and thoracotomy lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer.Methods 119 non-small cell lung cancer patients were randomly divided into the VATS group with 58 cases and the traditional open pneumonectomy group with 61 cases.Clinical efficacy of the 2 groups were compared.Results There were no significant differences in the number of lymph nodes group,number of positive lymph nodes between the two groups( P0.05).However,the number of lymph nodes [(12.3±2.3) cases],cleaning time of lymph nodes [(24.9±4.6) min],blood loss[(231.1±78.3) ml],time of hospital stay[(12.1±3.1) d],chest flux[(1353.5±486.2) ml]of patients in VATS group were significantly less than those of the traditional open pneumonectomy group( P0.05),and the VATS group had less complications,the difference was statistically significant( P0.05).Conclusion Complete video-assisted thoracoscopic pneumonectomy for non-small cell lung cancer is effective,safe with minimal postoperative discomfort,and it can be the development direction for future thoracic surgery.
