Clinical efficacy analysis of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for non-small cell lung cancer

Objective To explore the curative efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) in the treatment of each stage of non-small cell lung cancer and to provide reference for clinical application of this operation.Methods A total of 117 cases of non-small cell lung patient undergoing VATS lobectomy were divided into two groups on the basis of patho logical stage,56 cases inⅠstage group and 61 cases in Ⅱ stage group.The clinical results such as postoperative complications,recurrence rate and postoperative 3-year follow-up rate were compared.Results The incidence of complications of Ⅰstage group and Ⅱ stage group was 5.4% and 18.0% respectively,the difference had statistical significance(P 0.05).The 3-year survival rate of Ⅰstage group and Ⅱ stage group was 98.2% and 86.9% respectively,the difference had statistical significance(P 0.05).Conclusion VATS lobectomy has better effect for theⅠstage non-cell lung cancer.
