ABSTRACT
Objective:
To proceed a comparative study of characteristics and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy between artificial pneumothorax combining subxiphoid-costal margin approach versus right thoracic cavity approach.Methods:
From January 2018 to December 2021, 251 patients(including myasthenia gravis with thymic hyperplasia or thymoma, thymic cysts and anterior mediastinal occupying lesions)undergoing thoracoscopic extended thymectomy in our department were retrospectively studied, and their clinical data were collected.The surgical methods were divided into artificial pneumothorax combining xiphoid costal margin approach(artificial pneumothorax group, n=165)and via right thoracic approach(right thoracic group, n=86). Clinical data such as preoperative information, operative duration, blood loss, postoperative drainage, drainage duration, and surgical complication were compared between two groups.Results:
There were no statistical differences in age, gender and pathology between two groups(all P>0.05). Compared with the right thoracic group, operative duration[(108.6±45.2)min vs.(127.6±42.1)min, t=-3.628, P=0.000], intraoperative blood loss[(37.9±131.7)ml vs.(107.4±284.8)ml, t=-8.215, P=0.000], postoperative drainage volume[(379.0±285.5)ml vs.(646.6±373.3 ml), t=-6.277, P=0.000]and drainage duration[(2.2±1.0)d vs.(3.1±1.0)d, t=-7.275, P=0.000]were statistically significantly decreased in the artificial pneumothorax group.No significant difference was found(all P>0.05)in phrenic nerve injury(1/165 vs.0/86, P=1.000), myasthenia crisis(3/89 vs.2/66, χ2=0.014, P=0.906), and the conversion to thoracotomy(3/165 vs.2/86, P=1.000).Conclusions:
VATS thymectomy by artificial pneumothorax combining subxiphoid-costal margin approach is a safer method, having a less trauma, less bleeding and less incidence rate of complication.Especially, it is more suitable for elderly female patients who cannot be intubated in double lumen, cannot tolerate one-lung ventilation, and have pulmonary insufficiency.
