Objective To estimate postoperative pain and use of analgesic of patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) or robotic assisted thoracoscopic surgery(RATS). Methods From October 2014 through August 2015, 339 patients were treated by surgery in Shanghai Chest Hospital. Among them, 116 patients with intrathoracic lesions who underwent RATS with the da Vinci? Surgical System were as a RATS group with 51 males and 65 females at age of 52.59±11.49 years. Another 223 patients by VATS were as a VATS group with 93 males and 130 females at age of 58.00±10.56 years. We recorded the data of the VAS score and use analgesic of the patients after surgery. Results There was a significant difference in VAS score between the RATS group and the VATS group(3.01±0.18 vs. 5.19±0.14, P<0.05). Astatistical difference of analgesic use between RATS and VATS was also found(1.09±0.12 vs. 1.77±0.10, P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with VATS, the postoperative pain of the patients who underwent RATS is lighter. And the use of analgesic is less.
