Abstract:

Objective

To explore the feasibility and clinical characteristics of single-direction uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SU-VATS) lobectomy in the treatment of lung cancer.

Methods

Clinical data of patients who underwent consecutive lobectomy with systematic lymph nodes dissection by one same surgeon from January 2016 to December 2017 in Xuzhou Central Hospital was collected and retrospectively analyzed. Suitable cases were divided into three groups, single-direction uniportal VATS(SU-VATS), conventional uniportal VATS (U-VATS), and multiple-port VATS (M-VATS) group, with 60 patients in each group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, numbers and stations of dissected lymph nodes, postoperative chest drainage time, complications, and hospital stay were compared respectively among the three groups.

Results

There was no significant difference among the groups in terms of age, complication, diameter and location of the tumor(P>0.05). The surgical margins were negative in all cases, with no conversion to thoracotomy or dead case occured. The operation time of SU-VATS group was significantly shorter than that of U-VATS and M-VATS groups [(100.6±20.3) min vs (123.8±27.4) min vs (119.5±26.4) min, P<0.05]. In addition, the chest drainage time of SU-VATS group was noticeably shorter than that of U-VATS group [(3.1±1.5) d vs (4.0±2.1) d, P=0.02], while postoperative drainage volume in the SU-VATS group was much smaller than that in U-VATS group [(485.8±180.9) ml vs (582.5±291.4) ml, P=0.02], and the postoperative hospital stay shorter [(6.0±1.6) d vs (6.9±2.0) d, P=0.01]. However, in terms of postoperative drainage volume and postoperative hospital stay, there was no significant differences between SU-VATS and M-VATS groups (P>0.05). Besides, on the 1st day after surgery, the pain scores of the patients in SU-VATS group were lower than in U-VATS and M-VATS groups[(4.6±1.1) vs (5.9±1.1) vs (5.4±1.0), P<0.05]. However, On the 3rd after surgery, the pain scores of the patients in SU-VATS group were lower than in U-VATS group [(4.0±1.0) vs (4.6±1.1), P=0.003], without noticeable difference compared with the M-VATS group (P=0.15). Moreover, on the 5th after surgery, the pain scores in SU-VATS group were still lower than those of U-VATS group [(3.2±1.0) vs (3.8±1.2), P=0.007], with no significant difference compared with the M-VATS group (P=0.15). All three groups did not indicated differences in terms of stations and numbers of the dissected lymph nodes, and operation-related complications (P>0.05).

Conclusions

SU-VATS lobectomy for lung cancer is reliable, followed by certain advantages as compared with U-VATS and M-VATS.
