The Clinical Study Of Video-assisted Thoracospic Surgery For Lung Cancer Through Lymphadenectomy

Objective To study the clinical effect of Video-assisted thoracospic surgery for lung cancer definitive resection through lymphadenectomy.Metheds Radical lobectomy or pneumonectomy and systemic lymphadenectomy were performed in 197 patients with NSCLC through Video-assisted thoracospic surgery. Pathological type and grade ,total number of dissected lymph nodes, number of metastaic lymph nodes,survival and life quality were evaluated.Results The average of dissected lymph nodes was 11.61,471 lymph nodes form 382 regions were confirmed to have metastasis, The metastatic rates were 24.1% and 20.6% respectively. There were no significiant difference between Video-assisted thoracospic surgery and conventional thoracotomy . The 1 3 5-year survival rate of stage I II and IIIA were no significiant difference between Video-assisted thoracospic surgery and conventional thoracotomy.Conclusion Video-assisted thoracospic surgery should rufill the same quality lymphadenectomy and lung cancer definitive resection.
