Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of controlled hypotension in 3 cm single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for the lymph node group 7 dissection in the left lung resection. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 37 patients with lung cancer who underwent 3 cm single-port VATS from May 2015 to August 2015 in Tongji Hospital, and systolic blood pressure of 12 patients (7 males, 5 females, average age of 58.3 years, range 42-69 years) was controlled between 80-90 mm Hg by nitroglycerin or sodium nitroprusside while the pressure of 25 patients (14 males, 11 females, average age of 57.7 years, range 43-68 years) was not controlled when receiving lymph node group 7 dissection. Results Controlled hypotension in lymphadenectomy achieved satisfactory results. The lymphadenectomy time of 12 patients with controlled hypotension (18.5±4.3 min on average, range 15.6-25.3 min) was shorter than that of 25 patients without controlled hypotension (24.3±5.1 min on average, range 18.2-29.8 min); the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Controlled hypotension is a simple and feasible method that increases the operating space, and reduces the difficulty of cleaning lymph nodes and the risk of bleeding.
