Application of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in grass-roots hospital

Objective To inverstigte the feasibility of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) be used in grass-roots hospital. Methods 46 patients were treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or video-assisted minithoracotomy surgery (VAMT) including bullectomy, lobectomy or wedge resection of lung, lung volume reduction surgery, esophageal tumor resection, clearance of hemathorax,partial pericardial,et al. Results There was no operative mortality. Complications occurred in 2 cases(4.3%). All patients were perfectly recovered by treatment. The overall follow-up was 6 months. Conclusion VATS is a safe,effective and new technique of thoracic surgery. More attentions must be payed to prevent and reduce complication in order to generalize the use of grass-roots hospital.
