Abstract

Objective To compare the effect of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and limited axillary thoracotomy in treating spontaneous pneumothorax. Methods 128 spontaneous pneumothorax patients treated by surgery from January 2009 to August 2012 were divided into VATS group(80 patients) and LAT group(48 patients).The operation time,perioperative bleeding, postoperative drainage time, drainage fluid after operation,postoperative pain score,postoperation hospitalization duration and the recurrence rates of the two groups were then compared and studied.Results There were no statistical differences in operation time and recurrence rates between VATS group and LAT group(P 0.05); VATS was much better than LAT in perioperative bleeding,postoperative drainage time,drainage fluid after operation,postoperative pain score,and postoperation hospitalization duration(P 0.05). Conclusion VATS should be the first choice for treating spontaneous pneumothorax.
