电视胸腔镜与小切口开胸手术治疗食管良性疾病的比较

目的比较电视胸腔镜手术与小切口开胸手术治疗食管良性疾病的临床效果和适应证。方法1995年1月至2007年1月我院胸外科应用微创手术治疗食管良性疾病患者52例。其中贲门失弛缓17例,食管平滑肌瘤24例,食管憩室7例,食管脂肪瘤1例,食管囊肿1例,贲门失弛缓合并食管憩室1例,贲门失弛缓球囊扩张食管破裂1例。根据手术方式分为电视胸腔镜手术组25例,小切口开胸手术组27例。结果两组患者手术治疗效果均良好,无术后并发症,无手术死亡。电视胸腔镜手术组有2例因胸腔内广泛粘连和食管黏膜损伤中转开胸。两组患者手术时间、术后胸腔闭式引流时间、胃肠减压时间以及术后住院时间均无明显差异。结论电视胸腔镜手术和小切口开胸手术治疗食管良性疾病安全有效,术后恢复快。电视胸腔镜手术切口符合美观要求,可作为治疗食管良性疾病的常规术式。小切口开胸手术更适合于病情较复杂的患者。

Comparison of VATS and mini-incision thoracotomy for the treatment of benign esophageal diseases

OBJECTIVE: To compare video-assisted thoracis surgery (VATS) and mini-incision thoracotomy for the treatment of benign esophageal diseases. METHODS: The clinical data of 52 patients with benign esophageal diseases underwent minimally invasive surgical treatment from January 1995 to January 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. VATS were performed in 25 cases and mini-incision thoracotomy were performed in 27 cases. RESULTS: There was no operative death or major perioperative complications in both groups. There were no significant difference between them according to operation time, postoperative thoracic drainage time, postoperative gastric drainage time and postoperative hospital stay time. CONCLUSIONS: For the treatment of benign esophageal diseases, both VATS and mini-incision thoracotomy are safe and effective. VATS can be performed in suitable cases with more minimal incision and decreased operative trauma, mini-incision thoracotomy can be performed in almost all cases, preferring the sophisticated cases.
