Perioperative Effect of Single-Port Thoracoscopic Segmentectomy and Three-Port Thoracoscopic Segmentectomy in the Treatment of Early Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract

Background. Clinically, there were few reports on single-hole thoracoscopic segmental resection in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and no report on the comparison of single-hole and three-hole thoracoscopic segmental resection. Hence, the purpose of the study was to explore the perioperative role of single-port thoracoscopic segmentectomy and three-port thoracoscopic segmentectomy for early-stage NSCLC. Methods. The clinical data of 80 patients with early-stage NSCLC who were treated in our hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the retrospective research subjects and divided into a comparison/research group with 40 cases in each group according to different surgical methods. Among them, the comparison group was received three-port thoracoscopic segmentectomy, and the research group was received single-port thoracoscopic segmentectomy. The surgical indicators, immune and tumor marker levels, as well as prognostic complications between two groups were compared. Results. There was no remarkable diversity between the two groups in terms of operation time and the number of lymph nodes dissected during the operation ( $P>0.05$ ). The surgical blood loss in research group was lower than comparison group ( $P<0.05$ ). After treatment, the levels of CYFRA21-1, CA125, as well as VGEF in the research group were markedly lower than comparison group ( $P<0.05$ ). The differences in CD4+, CD3+, and CD4+/CD8+ after treatment were prominent, and the research group was higher than comparison group ( $P<0.05$ ). There was no statistical difference in postoperative complications between the two groups ( $P>0.05$ ). Conclusions. Single-hole thoracoscopic lobectomy has obvious advantages in the treatment of NSCLC, which can reduce intraoperative bleeding, enhance the recovery of patients’ immune function, and promote postoperative recovery.
