Comparative analysis of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with conventional surgery for patients with thymoma clinical effect / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the clinical effect of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and traditional surgery on patients with thymoma. Methods 52 patients with thymoma were randomly divided intoexperimental group and control group each with 26 cases. The control group received the traditional surgical method. The experimental group was treated by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. To compare the two groups of patients with intraoperative blood loss, surgical incision, operation time, analgesic drug use, hospital stay and complications and other indicators. Results The intraoperative blood loss, incision size and the amount of analgesic drug application of the experimental group were significantly smaller than those of the control group(P<0.05). The operation time and hospitalization time were significantly shorter than those of the control group. The complication was significantly lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Video - assisted thoracoscopic surgery is safe and reliable in the treatment of thymoma. It has the characteristics of less trauma, quick recovery, less pain and less complication. It should be widely used in clinical practice.
