Application of energy instrument combined with linear cutting and suturing device to separate intersegment plane in thoracoscopic segmental resection
Objective To investigate the application effect of energy instrument combined with linear cutting and su-turing device to separate intersegment plane in thoracoscopic segmental resection.Method A total of 80 patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic segmental resection were selected and divided into study group(n=40)and con-trol group(n=40)by random number table method.The study group received energy instrument combined with linear cut-ting and suturing device to separate intersegment plane during surgery,while the control group patients received linear cutting and suturing device to separate intersegment plane during surgery.The operation related indexes and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Result The operation time in the study group was significantly longer than that in the control group,and the number of nail chambers used in intersegment plane was signif-icantly less than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).There were no signifi-cant differences in the incidences of postoperative complications between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion In thora-coscopic segmental resection,the use of energy instrument combined with linear cutting and suturing device to separate intersegment plane can prolong the operation time,but can reduce the number of nail chambers,thereby reducing medical costs.At the same time,it is not inferior to the use of linear cutting and suturing device in terms of safety.
