【Abstract】 ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of single port videoassisted thoracoscopic lobectomy （SPVATS）for the treatment of lung cancer. MethodsClinical data of 96 patients undergoing SPVATS were retrospectively analyzed. All the cases were diagnosed as malignant lesion. Totally 56 and 40 patients were male and female repectively. Twentyfive tumors located in the upper lobe of the right lung，3 in the middle lobe of right lung，16 in the inferior lobe of right lung，24 in the upper lobe of the left lung and 28 in the inferior lobe of left lung. All patients accepted lobectomy and systemic lymphadenectomy. ResultsThe operation was completed successfully in 96 cases. No conversion to open thoracotomy occurred. One auxiliary port was established in 2 cases separately due to severe pleural adhesion. No blood transfusion was needed during the operation. The operative duration was 80-190 min (average: 130 min). The intraoperative blood loss was 60-300 ml (average:100ml). The hospital stay was 3-14 days (average: 6.5 days). The number of lymph nodes removed during operation was 11-32 (average:17). Continuous airleak was found in 2 cases and pleural effusion in 5 cases after operation. ConclusionSPVATS has the advantages of less trauma, rapid recovery, shorter hospital stay and dramatical removal of lymph nodes, and can be taken as the first selection for surgical dissection of lung cancer.
