ObjectiveTo explore the clinical application value of thoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomy in stage I of lung cancer. MethodsThe clinical data of 52 patients with stage I of lung cancer who undergoing thoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomy were analyzed.Operative duration,intraoperative blood loss, duration for postoperative drainage, postoperative hospital stay, incidence of postoperative complications were observed and recorded. ResultsThe operation was successfully completed in all patients. No conversion to thoracotomy or perioperative death occurred.The median operative duration was125 min(range: 65-210 min). The median operative blood loss was 80 mL(range: 15-200 mL). The median duration for postoperative drainage was 4 days (range: 2-9 days). The median postoperative hospital stay time was 6 days (range: 3-8 days). After operation,good recovery was observed in all cases and no serious complications occurred. ConclusionThoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomy obtains a good clinical efficacy ,and is applicable for the patients with lung cancer ofstage I.
