[Bronchial sleeve resection and reconstruction of pulmonary artery by video-assisted thoracic small incision surgery for central lung cancer: a report of 139 cases].
2007
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and practicability between bronchial sleeve resection or reconstruction of the pulmonary artery by video-assisted thoracic small incision and routine posterolateral incision for lung cancer.Methods The clinic data was analyzed retrospectively,including 139 cases in our hospital underwent sleeve lobectomy and bronchoplasty by video-assisted thoracic small incision surgery for lung cancer from January 1995 to July 2007 and 99 cases in the HUAXI Hospital of SICHUAN University underwent routine posterolateral incision from April 2000 to December 2005.All patients whose bronchus and/or pulmonary artery were involved underwent the operation and experienced the bronchial sleeve resection or reconstruction of the pulmonary artery.Results All patients were done operation successfully with no perioperative mortality and no occurrence of anastomosis stenosis as well as fistula.The median survival period of video-assisted thoracic small incision patients and the posterolateral incision patients were 63.17 months and 42.00 months,respectively(P0.05).There was no sign of reperfusion injury in the reconstruction of the pulmonary artery patients.The small incisions' length was from 8 to 13 cm and the mean length was l0 cm.The routine posterolateral incisions' mean length was 30 cm.Compaired to the patients underwent the routine posterolateral incision,patients underwent the operation of video assisted thoracic small incision had less operation time,less chest tube time,less hospitalization time and less postoperative shoulder joint dysfunction.Conclusions The bronchial sleeve resection and reconstruction of the pulmonary artery by video-assisted thoracic small incision surgery for lung cancer can finish the same work as the traditional thoracic lateral incision with less trauma and recovery time.
