Video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy has many benefits over open surgery such as smaller incisions, less pain, less blood loss, faster postoperative recovery, shortened hospital stay, similar or superior survival rates. In contrast video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has higher equipment costs, increased operating room times, at least initially, and a learning curve for the team. However when an experienced surgeon performs the surgery, significant hospital savings combined with better outcomes are achieved by video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.
电视辅助胸腔镜肺叶切除术比开放性手术具有许多优势,例如切口更小、疼痛更少、出血量更少、术后恢复更快、住院时间更短、生存率相似或更高。相比之下,电视辅助胸腔手术 (VATS) 的设备成本更高,手术室时间更长,至少在最初阶段是这样,而且团队需要一个学习曲线。然而,当经验丰富的外科医生进行手术时,通过电视辅助胸腔镜肺叶切除术可以实现显著的医院节省和更好的结果。
