Abstract
【Objective】To compare the clinical effect of video-assisted thoracoscopy with axillary small incision surgery and conventional thoracotomy surgery in the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax【.Methods】A total of 53 patients were enrolled in this study.Among them 27 patients were treated with video-assisted thoracoscopy with small incision surgery(A group),26 with conventional thoracotomy surgery(B group).Operation times,incision size and hospitalization times were recorded and compared.【Results】Operation times,size of surgical incision and hospitalization times of video-assisted thoracoscopy with axillary small incision surgery group were significant lower than conventional thoracotomy surgery group(P 0.05).【Conclusion】Using video-assisted thoracoscopy with axillary small incision surgery to treat spontaneous pneumothorax is safe,with little damage and fast restoration.
