Objective To compare the digital drainage system and the traditional drainage system in the patients after lung surgery, and to evaluate the advantages of digital drainage system. Methods A retrospective analysis of consecutive 42 patients with lung surgery between September 2016 and May 2017 in Beijing University International Hospital was done. There were 30 males and 12 females with a median age of 34 years ranging 19-81 years. After the surgery 21 patients adopted Thopaz digital drainage device (a DDS group), and the other 21 patients adopted traditional drainage (a TDS group). Duration of air leakage and chest tube placement, length of hospital stay, thoracic drainage volume within 48 h and hospitalization expenses in the two groups were compared. Results The patients in the two groups were all successfully discharged. Compared with the TDS group, duration of air leakage and chest tube placement and length of hospital stay significantly shortened in the DDS group (35.6±16.3 h vs. 48.2±20.1 h, P=0.02; 50.0±16.1 h vs. 62.0±20.4 h, P=0.03; 5.9±2.3 d vs. 7.8±3.5 d, P=0.02), and thoracic drainage volume within 48 h and hospitalization expenses showed no significant statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion Using digital drainage system after lung surgery can significantly shorten the duration of air leakage and the postoperative drainage, at the same time, without increasing the overall hospitalization expenses.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of thoracoscopic lobectomy versus segmentectomy in the treatment of T1bN0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsClinical data of 181 patients with T1bN0M0 NSCLC admitted to our hospital from 2012 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into a lobectomy group and a segmentectomy group according to surgical methods. There were 117 patients in the lobectomy group (46 males and 71 females aged 61.32±8.94 years) and 64 patients in the segmentectomy group (20 males and 44 females aged 58.55±12.57 years). Perioperative indicators and prognosis were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe segmentectomy group had longer operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, shorter postoperative hospital stay and more preservation of lung function compared with the lobectomy group (P<0.05). The lobectomy group had higher consolidation tumor ratio, bigger tumor diameter, and more lymph node sampling compared with the segmentectomy group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in 5-year overall survival or recurrence-free survival between the two groups (P<0.05). ConclusionFor patients with T1bN0M0 NSCLC, thoracoscopic segmentectomy and lobectomy have similar prognosis, but segmentectomy has advantages with less injury and faster recovery over lobectomy.
ObjectiveTo compare the perioperative efficacy and safety of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) and uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS) in the lobectomy for early lung adenocarcinoma.MethodsClinical data of 70 early lung adenocarcinoma patients, receiving RATS or UVATS lobectomy by the same surgical team in our hospital from November 2018 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 24 males and 46 females with an average age of 59.3±8.9 years. According to different surgical methods, the patients were divided into a RATS group (31 patients) and a UVATS group (39 patients). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, indwelling time, drainage volume, number of lymph node dissected, stations of lymph node dissected and perioperative complications were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no conversion to thoracotomy or perioperative death in both groups. There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube, thoracic drainage volume or stations of lymph node dissected between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of pulmonary infection, persistent lung leakage, chylothorax, arrhythmia or overall complications between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time of the RATS group was longer than that of the UVATS group (195.8±52.8 min vs. 154.0±43.1 min, P=0.001). The number of lymph node dissected in the RATS group was more than that of the UVATS group (P=0.016).ConclusionBoth RATS and UVATS are safe and feasible in the treatment of lung cancer. The number of lymph nodes removed by RATS is significantly more than that of UVATS.
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the operation performed under the video-assisted thoracoscope to release the anterior part of the spine of the patient with severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods From April 2004 to July 2006, 24 patients with AIS (Illness course, 1.5-9 years; Lenke Ⅰ in 17 patients, Lenke Ⅱ in 7; right scoliosis in 22, left scoliosis in 2), among whom there were 9 males and 15 females, with an average age of 14.7 years (range, 11-21 years) at the time of the operation. Before operation, the thoracic vertebral Cobb anger at the coronal plane was averaged 78.3°(range, 65-125°). All the patients had normal muscle strength and muscle tension in their lower limbs, but 5 of the patients had a decrease of the superficial sensation in their lower limbs. All the patients had a moderately or severely decreased lung reserve function. Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in the lateral position to set up a work channel for thoracoscopy. The releasing of the thoracic intervertebral space and the confluence of the bone grafts were performed. During Stage Ⅰ or Stage Ⅱ, the orthopedic procedures for the posterior part of the scoliosis spine, the internal fixation, and the confluence ofthe bone grafts were completed. ResultsAll the patients survived the periodof perioperation. During operation, there was a hemorrhage of 50-200 ml, averaged 100 ml, with a postoperative thoracic closely-drained fluid of 100-150 ml. The incision was healed by the first intention. Each patient underwent the releaseof 4-6 intervertebral spaces, with an average of 5.5 spaces released. The average coronal Cobb angle was 45.6°(range, 25-75°). The physiological curvatureat the sagittal plane was normal, with an improved shape of the spine. The follow-up for 3-18 months averaged 9.3 months revealed that the bilateral pulmonary markings were clear, with confluence of the orthopedic segment of the spine. The patients could live and work normally, and had a significantly-improved psychological condition and an active social participation because of their improved appearance. Conclusion The releasing of the anterior part of the spine under the video-assisted thoracoscope can effectively release the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and improve the flexibility of the spine, with a smaller degree of the surgical wound and a faster and clearer exposure of the spinal column during operation.
Objective To monitor surgical quality and analyze learning curve of minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 150 consecutive patients who underwent minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery in the Guangdong General Hospital between January 2013 and December 2015. There were 60 males and 90 females at age of 43.1 years. There were 60 patients with atrial or ventricular septal defect repair, 12 patients with cardiac tumor resection, 53 patients with mitral valve replacement and 25 patients with mitral valve repair. According to the surgical sequence, all the patients were divided into 3 groups including a group A, group B, and group C with 50 patients in each group (every 10 patients as a sequence, every 5 sequence as a group). Surgical outcomes were compared among the 3 groups, and surgical quality was analyzed with descriptive statistics. Results Surgical failure rate was 6.7% (10/150). There was no in-hospital mortality. Aortic cross-clamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time and duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of ICU stay, duration of hospital stays of the group C were significantly shorter than those of the group A and group B. Analysis showed a significant learning curve effect in totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery. When surgical cases reached about 100 cases, cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp time was shorter than the average value stably. Conclusion Totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery is safe and reliable. For the beginners, it needs about 100 patients of surgery to master the totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery.
