ABSTRACT
AIM:
We examined the advantages of thoracoscopy over thoracotomy in terms of perioperative outcomes and toleration of adjuvant chemotherapy.METHODS:
Between April 2010 and March 2013, 657 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who underwent lobectomy were classified into thoracoscopy (308 patients) and thoracotomy (349 patients) groups and compared.RESULTS:
The thoracoscopy group had less blood loss compared to the thoracotomy group (p < 0.001). When limiting the analysis to pathological stage I patients, the results were similar (p < 0.001). In addition, the difference in blood loss between the 2 groups was greater in patients with severe pleural adhesions. The postoperative morbidity of the thoracoscopy group was significantly less than that of the thoracotomy group (13.3% vs. 21.2%, p < 0.001), and this result was similar when analyzing the pathological stage I patients (12.6% vs. 20.6%, p = 0.001). A higher percentage of the thoracoscopy group received both the full planned course and dose of adjuvant chemotherapy compared to the thoracotomy group (84.2% vs. 65.8%, p = 0.032).CONCLUSIONS:
These results indicate that totally thoracoscopic lobectomy is the more beneficial surgical approach with regard to the incidence of postoperative complications and toleration of adjuvant chemotherapy.Palabras clave
