Objective:To explore the feasibility and application value of case-based learning (CBL) combined with clinical pathway in thoracic surgery practice teaching.Methods:A total of 30 clinical undergraduate students who practiced from January 2018 to August 2018 were selected and randomly divided into the traditional group and the research group. The traditional group used traditional teaching mode, while the research group adopted the CBL combined with clinical pathway teaching. The scores of theoretical examination and practice skills assessment and the case analysis ability of the two groups were compared at the time of department. In addition, the evaluation of the teaching effect of the two groups of teachers and students was observed through anonymous questionnaires. SPSS 21.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The scores of the students in the research group were better than those in the traditional group, including score of theoretical examination [(88.20±4.02) vs. (80.76±4.62), P<0.001], score of practice skills assessment [(90.80±2.16) vs. (84.80±3.07), P<0.001] and case analysis ability [(89.80±3.34) vs. (81.86±4.31), P<0.001]. The differences were statistically significant. At the same time, the questionnaire showed that the research group was superior to the traditional group in improving students' learning interest, clinical skills, case analysis ability, clinical communication ability, theoretical knowledge understanding and clinical thinking ability, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). While the two groups had no statistically significant difference in students' satisfaction with teachers ( P=0.083). Conclusion:The CBL method combined with clinical pathway teaching method can improve the teaching effect of thoracic surgery practice, which is worth popularizing.

The postoperative hospitalization time was 5 (3-7) d. The pain score for the first 3 days after surgery was 3±1 points. Conclusion Single utility port robot-assisted lung resection via anterior approach is safe, less traumatic, more convenient and effective, which can be gradually promoted and applied to clinical trials.
Résumé
Traumatic rib fractures are the most common injury in thoracic trauma. Previously,the patients with traumatic rib fractures were mostly treated non-surgically,of which 50%,especially those combined with flail chest presented chronic pain or chest wall deformities and over 30% had long-term disabilities,being unable to retain a full-time job. In the past two decades,thanks to the development of internal fixation material technology,the surgical treatment of rib fractures has achieved good outcomes. However,there are still some problems in clinical treatment,including inconsistency in surgical treatment and quality control in medical services. The current consensuses on the management of regional traumatic rib fractures published at home and abroad mainly focus on the guidance of the overall treatment decisions and plans,and relevant clinical guidelines abroad lacks progress in surgical treatment of rib fractures in recent years. Therefore,the Chinese Society of Traumatology affiliated to Chinese Medical Association and Chinese College of Trauma Surgeons affiliated to Chinese Medical Doctor Association,in conjunction with national multidisciplinary experts,formulate the Chinese Consensus for Surgical Treatment of Traumatic Rib Fractures(2021)following the principle of evidence-based medicine,scientific nature and practicality. This expert consensus puts forward some clear,applicable,and graded recommendations from aspects of preoperative imaging evaluation,surgical indications,timing of surgery,surgical methods,rib fracture sites for surgical fixation,internal fixation methods and material selections,treatment of combined injuries in rib fractures,in order to provide references for surgical treatment of traumatic rib fractures.

@#Objective To evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of robot-assisted lobectomy through anterior approach. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 180 patients who underwent robot-assisted lobectomy through anterior approach in our hospital between April 2017 and February 2018. There were 97 males and 83 females, aged 59.5 (32.0-83.0) years. The clinical effects were analyzed. Results One patient was transferred to thoracotomy due to tumor invasion of adjacent blood vessels and injury to the blood vessels, and there was no perioperative death. There were 8.5 (1.0-35.0) dissected lymph nodes for each patient. The median operation time was 120 (50-360) min, including robot Docking time 5 (1-23) min and robot operation time 65 (7-270) min. The median blood loss was 50 (5-1 500) mL, 132 (73.3%) patients had malignant tumors and median drainage time was 5 (2-30) d. The mean postoperative pain score was 3.4±0.7 points and the postoperative hospital time was 8 (2-32) d. At the median follow-up of 24 months, 11 patients developed recurrence and metastasis, and 3 died. Conclusion Robot-assisted lobectomy through anterior approach is a safe and convenient operation method, which is worthy of clinical application.

@#Objective To explore the clinical value of three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) in robotic lung segmentectomy. Methods A non-randomized control study was performed and continuously enrolled 122 patients who underwent robotic lung segmentectomy in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020. 3D-CTBA was performed before operations in 53 patients [a 3D-CTBA group, including 18 males, 35 females, with a median age of 52 (26-69) years] and not performed in the other 69 patients [a traditional group, including 23 males, 46 females, with a median age of 48 (30-76) years]. The clinical data of the patients were compared between the two groups. Results All the patients were successfully completed the surgery and recovered from hospital, with no perioperative death. The baseline characteristics of the patients were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). No significant difference was found in the operative time [120 (70-185) min vs. 120 (45-225) min, P=0.801], blood loss [50 (20-300) mL vs. 30 (20-400) mL, P=0.778], complications rate (17.0% vs. 11.6%, P=0.162), postoperative hospital stay [7 (4-19) d vs. 7 (3-20) d, P=0.388] between the two groups. In the 3D-CTBA group, 5 (9.4%) patients did not find nodules after segmentectomy, and only 1 (1.9%) of them needed lobectomy, but in the traditional group, 8 (11.6%) patients did not find nodules and had to carry out lobectomy, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The follow-up time was 10 (1-26) months, and during this period, there was no recurrence, metastasis or death in the two groups. Conclusion 3D-CTBA is helpful for accurate localization of nodules and reasonable surgical planning before operations, and reducing wrong resections in segmentectomy, without increasing the operation time, blood loss and complications. It is safe and effective in anatomical lung segmentectomy.

BACKGROUND@#Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) has become the latest minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technique due to its characteristics, e.g., non-invasion, accuracy, real-time positioning. In this study, we investigated the application of ENB biopsy combined with Massage staining in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 15 PPL patients undergoing ENB biopsy plus Massage staining between August 2017 and January 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, there were 12 male and 3 female, and the mean age was (51.3±2.1) years old.@*RESULTS@#The diameter of PPLs ranged from 6 mm to 36 mm (mean: 14.0 mm). The successful biopsy rate was 66.7%. All patients successfully underwent Massage staining. The distance between the centers of staining and lesion was (1.0±0.4) cm, and the diameter of staining was (2.8±0.6) cm. The mean operation time was (26.7±5.3 ) min, and the mean blood loss during surgery was (3.3±1.5) mL. There was no pneumothorax, hemothorax and pulmonary vascular injury during the procedure.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The ENB biopsy plus Massage staining technique caused very few complications, and provided high precision, which warrants further application.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and surgical treatment of pulmonary sequestration in adults. Methods Clinical data of 21 cases of pulmonary sequestration whose diagnosis was confirmed by surgical biopsy in our department from March 2009 to February 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Divided the patients into the thoracotomy group (n=9) and the thoracoscope group (n=12) according to dif-ferent surgical methods, and compared the diagnosis and surgery of the two groups. Results Among the patients, 8 cases were diagnosed as pulmonary sequestration and the remaining 13 cases were misdiagnosed,with the misdiagnosis rate of 61. 9%. Intraoperative exploration dem-onstrated that the abnormal blood vessels were originated from thoracic aorta (n=14,66. 7%),abdominal aorta (n=4,19%),phrenic artery (n=3,14. 3%) and aortic arch (n=1,4. 8%), and there were 20 cases (95. 2%) of intralobar sequestration and 1 case (4. 8%) of ex-tralobar sequestration. Patients underwent thoracotomy and patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery were of no significant differences in operative time (P=0. 104),blood loss (P=0. 209),chest tube duration (P=0. 511),drainage volume (P=0. 135) and postoperative hospital stay (P=0. 450). All the patients recovered well after surgery. Conclusion As pulmonary sequestration lacks specific clinical manifestations,missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are very common in patients. Chest enhanced CT and CT angiography are effective diagnostic methods at present. Both thoracotomy and VATS can achieve good therapeutic effects.
