Efficacy of Single-port Thoracoscopic Anatomical Segmental Lung Resection by Expan-sion and Atrophy Method in the Treatment of Early-stage NSCLC
Objective To investigate the efficacy of single-port thoracoscopic anatomical segmental lung resection by ex-pansion and atrophy method in the treatment of early-stage NSCLC.Methods 82 patients with NSCLC were selected and divided into 2 groups according to the differences in surgical approaches.Among them,40 patients in the study group were treated by sin-gle-port thoracoscopic modified expansion atrophy method of anatomical lung segment resection,while 42 patients in the control group were treated by single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy,comparing the clinical efficacy and other differences between the 2 groups.Results The length of hospital stay and intraoperative bleeding were significantly less in the study group than in the con-trol group(P<0.05),while the remaining perioperative indices had no statistical difference between the 2 groups(P>0.05).Postoperative pulmonary function indexes were lower in both groups compared with the preoperative period,and more so in the control group(P<0.05).Serum-related indexes were higher in both groups after surgery,and more so in the control group(P<0.05);The quality of life improved in both groups after surgery compared with that before surgery,and more so in the study group(P<0.05).Conclusion Single-port thoracoscopic modified expansion and atrophy method anatomical segmental lung resection is more effective for patients with early-stage NSCLC,which not only improves their lung function,but also reduces inflammatory response,which ultimately benefits the quality of life and is worthy of clinical promotion.
