  • Clinical Analysis of 60 Patients Undergoing Complete Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy

    Objective To investigate clinical outcomes of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy and summarize our preliminary experience. Methods Clinical data of 60 consecutive patients who underwent complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy in General Hospital of Chengdu Military Command from March 2010 to August 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 37 male patients and 23 female patients with their median age of 52.1 (17-77) years. There were 7 patients undergoing left upper lobectomy, 19 patients undergoing left lower lobectomy, 12 patients undergoing right upper lobectomy, 3 patients undergoing right middle lobectomy, 17 patients undergoing right lower lobectomy, and 2 patients undergoing combined right middle and lower lobectomy. Results The average operation time was 161 (50-270) minutes, average intra-operative blood loss was 310 (50-800) ml, average number of lymph node dissection was 13.4 (6-29), average postoperative thoracic drainage was 950 (250-2 800) ml, average duration of thoracic drainage was 4.6 (3-11) days, average intensive care unit stay was 1.2 (1-3) days, and average postoperative hospital stay was 7.7(4-14) days. None of the patients had any severe postoperative complication. Fifty-two patients were followed up for 7 to 24 months, and 8 patients were lost during follow-up. During follow-up, 5 patients had lung cancer metastases, including 2 patients with mediastinal lymph node metastases and 3 patients with distant metastases. After chemoradiotherapy,3 patients lived well but 2 patients died. None of the other patients had any severe complication during follow-up. Conclusion Complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy is a safe and effective surgical strategy for patients with benign or malignantpulmonary disease.
