Objective To compare short-term efficacy of non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) in patients with lobectomy and intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (IVATS) for rapid postoperative recovery. Methods  The CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, Web of Science, Clinicaltrials.gov, The Cochrane Library and EMbase, PubMed were searched by computer for RCT literature and observational literature on topics related to routine thoracoscopic lobectomy under non-tracheal intubation were collected. The search period was from inception to April 1, 2023. After literature collection and quality evaluation with strict inclusion criteria, the effectiveness and feasibility of the two anesthesia methods were systematically analyzed. Results  A total of 14 articles were included in this study, consisting of 4 randomized controlled studies and 10 retrospective studies, including 1 840 patients. The results showed that NIVATS in the treatment of lung cancer compared with IVATS, there were significant differences in operative time [MD=–13.39, 95%CI (–20.16, –6.62), P<0.05)], postoperative anesthesia waking time [MD=–20.34, 95%CI (–26.83, –13.84), P< 0.05], incidence of postoperative airway complications [MD=0.49, 95%CI (0.34, 0.71), P<0.001], length of hospital stay [MD=–0.86, 95%CI (–1.46, –0.26), P<0.05], chest tube indwelling time [MD=–0.73, 95%CI (–1.36, –0.10), P<0.05], total drainage of chest tube [MD=–231.82, 95%CI (–328.64, –135.01), P < 0.05] and postoperative feeding time [MD=–5.68, 95%CI (–7.63, –3.73), P < 0.05] were safer and more effective, and can significantly accelerate the rapid recovery of patients after surgery. Conclusion  Under the current ERAS concept at home and abroad, NIVATS is a safe and technically feasible anesthesia method for patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy, which can replace IVATS to a certain extent and can be widely used in clinical practice, providing a basis for clinical decision-making.
