Clinical Research Of Thoracoscopic Lobectomy With Single Utility Port In Patients With Inflammatory Lung Disease

Objective: The value and feasibility of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery have been proved and widely spread in the treatment of Inflammatory Lung Disease.The aim of the study to evaluate the feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic lobectomy with single utility port in patients with Inflammatory Lung Disease.Methods: Patients with Inflammatory Lung Diseases who were eligible for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery were selected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group(n=30 each).Patients of experimental group were performed thoracoscopic lobectomy with single utility port,while patients of control group were performed traditional video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,drain tube drainage time,postoperative hospital stay time,postoperative pain score and the incidence of postoperative complications were compared.Results: No perioperative death was observed.There was no statistically significant difference in the duration of surgery and intraoperative blood loss(p>0.05).However,the tube drainage time,the postoperative hospital stay time,postoperative pain scores and the postoperative complications incidence were significantly lower in the experimental group patient than that in control group patients.Conclusion: Thoracoscopic lobectomy with single utility port in the treatment of Inflammatory Lung Disease can achieve the same clinical efficacy and safety as the conventional multi-port video-assisted thoracoscopic technique,which is feasible and provides a new surgical approach for such diseases.
