Abstract:
Objective
To retrospectively compare and analyze the cases of non-small cell lung cancer receiving uniportal thoracoscopy double sleeve lobectomy with thoracotomy approach in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital,and explore the advantages and safety of uniportal thoracoscopy double sleeve lobectomy.
Methods
A total of 85 cases of double sleeve lobectomy performed in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital from June 2018 to December 2022 were included consecutively.Patients were followed up by phone every 6 months after surgery.The surgical duration,intraoperative blood loss,drainage on the first day after surgery,postoperative hospital stay,intraoperative lymph node dissection,postoperative complications,Numeric Rating Scale of pain 3 months after surgery,and survival rates were statistically analyzed.
Results
Fifty cases were included in the uniportal group and 35 cases were included in the thoracotomy group.The proportion of patients with a history of smoking was higher in the thoracotomy group,while there was no difference in baseline data between the two groups.The surgery duration of the uniportal group was shorter than that of the thoracotomy group(2.7±0.8 vs 3.2±0.5,P=0.006).There was no statistically significant difference in intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage on the first day,and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups.There was no statistically significant difference in the number and stations of lymph node dissection during surgery and the number of positive lymph nodes after surgery between the two groups.No postoperative death or life-threatening postoperative complications were observed in both groups 30 days after surgery.The proportion of moderate pain in the thoracotomy group was higher than that in the uniportal group at 3 months after surgery(42.4% vs 13.0%,P=0.008).The median follow-up time was 28(12-56) months,and the 3-year disease-free survival of the uniportal group and thoracotomy group were 74.9% and 63.8%,respectively(P=0.534);the 3-year overall survival of the uniportal group and thoracotomy group were 81.4% and 79.9%,respectively(P=0.914).
Conclusions
Uniportal thoracoscopic double sleeve lobectomy has similar surgical effects and postoperative survival rates as traditional thoracotomy approaches.However,uniportal surgery has a shorter surgical duration and significantly reduce postoperative pain in patients.
