Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical effect of video-assissted thoracic surgery sleeve lobectomy for central non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods A total of 30 central NSCLC patients in Jiangxi Chest Hospital from Jan 2016 to Dec 2018 were selected as the research objects,then divided into the experimental group (15 cases)and the control group(15 cases)according to the random number table method.The experimental group was treated with videoassissted thoracic surgery sleeve lobectomy,and the control group was treated with traditional open thoracotomy.The related clinical indexes (operation time,intraoperative bleeding,postoperative 6 hours visual analogue scale[VAS]score,postoperative 3 days drainage volume,postoperative drainage time,postoperative hospital stay and the number of lymph node dissection groups]and postoperative complications occurred of two groups were compared.Results The intraoperative blood loss and postoperative 3 days drainage volume of the experimental group were less than the control group,the postoperative 6 hours VAS score were lower than the control group,the postoperative drainage time and postoperative hospital stay of the experimental group were shorter than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);There were no statistically significant of operation time and the number of lymph node dissection groups between the two group (P>0.05).There was no statistically significant in total incidence of postoperative complications between the two group (P>0.05).Conclusion Video-assissted thoracic surgery sleeve lobectomy can significantly reduce the amount of blood loss of central NSCLC patients,shorten the postoperative hospital stay and effectively reduce the degree of postoperative pain,which is safe and feasible.
