Analysis of the efficacy of Video Assisted Full Thoracoscopic Lobectomy and Conventional Thoracotomy in the treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Objective To explore clinical effects of video-assisted full thoracoscopic lobectomy and conventional thoracotomy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.Methods analyzed the results from 180 cases of non-small cell lung cancer.Some underwent full thoracoscopic lobectomy(90 cases,as observe group) and some had conventional thoracotomy(90 cases,as control group).The length of operative incision,the operative time,the blood loss,the number of lymph nodes,postoperative chest tube time,post-draining volume,incision pain levels,complications,the length of hospital stay in after operation were analyzed.Results There were statistical significances between observe group and control group in the length of operative incision,the operative time,the blood loss,incision pain,the length of hospital stay in post surgery and number of complications(P0.05).There were no statistical significance between observe group and control group in the number of lymph nodes,postoperative chest tube time and post-draining volume(P0.05).Conclusion Video-assisted full thoracoscopic lobectomy is safe and feasible in the treatment in non-small cell lung cancer.
