Application of dual ultrafine 8F drainage tubes in single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy:A retrospective cohort study
Objective To examine the application effectiveness of dual 8F ultrafine pigtail drainage tubes versus a single 28F large-bore chest tube in single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy.Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy within our medical group from January 2020 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.They were categorized into two groups based on postoperative drainage methods:a dual 8F ultrafine pigtail tubes group and a single 28F large-bore chest tube group.Comparative analysis was performed on perioperative data for the two groups of patients.Results The dual 8F ultrafine pigtail tubes group comprised of 68 patients,with 41 females and 27 males,and an average age of(54.72±13.34)years,while the single 28F large-bore chest tube group comprised of 80 patients,with 40 females and 40 males,and an average age of(57.60±11.04)years.There were statistical differences between the two groups in terms of postoperative drainage volume on day 1,day 2,and day 3,total postoperative drainage volume,postoperative tube placement time,postoperative pain score at 48 hours,maximum postoperative pain score,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative complications related to drainage tubes,and emergency use of pain-relieving medication after surgery(P＜0.05).Conclusion After single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy,the application of dual ultrafine 8F pigtail drainage tubes can lead to a reduction in postoperative drainage volume and shorten the duration of postoperative drainage tube placement and hospital stay,thereby decreasing postoperative pain and the frequency of emergency pain-relieving medication.Moreover,it lowers the incidence of drainage tube-related complications.In alignment with current enhanced recovery after surgery principles,this approach is advantageous for postoperative recovery.
