To compare short-term complications and long-term survival outcomes between muscle-sparing thoracotomy (MST) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) groups using a propensity-score matching process.
One thousand eighty-three patients with cT1 N0 M0 lung cancer from January 2009 to December 2014 who underwent lobectomy and a systematic lymph node dissection were retrospectively included, and statistical analyses including a propensity-score matching process were used to compare short-term and long-term outcomes.
Before propensity-score matching, for short-term surgical outcomes, the VATS group had fewer chest tube dwelling days (P < .001), less chest tube output (P < .001), shorter hospital stay, and fewer postoperative complications (P = .015). For long-term survival outcomes, the VATS group had a longer recurrence-free survival (P < .001) and overall survival (P < .001). After propensity-score matching, for short-term surgical outcomes, the VATS group had fewer chest tube dwelling days (P < .001), less chest tube output (P < .001), shorter hospital stay (P = .002), and fewer postoperative complications (P = .008). There was no difference in recurrence-free survival and overall survival between the 2 groups (P = .158 and P = .639, respectively).
VATS is less invasive and is associated with shorter length of hospital stay and fewer postoperative complications. The 2 surgical approaches have equivalent long-term survival outcomes.
通过倾向评分匹配过程比较保留肌肉的剖胸术(MST)和电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)组的短期并发症和长期生存结果。
回顾性纳入了 2009 年 1 月至 2014 年 12 月期间接受肺叶切除术和系统性淋巴结清扫术的 1083 例 cT1N0M0 肺癌患者,使用倾向评分匹配过程进行统计分析,以比较短期和长期结果。
在进行倾向评分匹配之前,对于短期手术结果,VATS 组的胸腔引流管留置天数(P<.001)、胸腔引流管引流量(P<.001)、住院时间较短,术后并发症较少(P=.015)。对于长期生存结果,VATS 组无复发生存率(P<.001)和总生存率(P<.001)较长。在进行倾向评分匹配后,对于短期手术结果,VATS 组的胸腔引流管留置天数(P<.001)、胸腔引流管引流量(P<.001)、住院时间(P=.002)较短,术后并发症较少(P=.008)。两组无复发生存率和总生存率无差异(P=.158 和 P=.639)。
VATS 具有微创性,与较短的住院时间和较少的术后并发症相关。两种手术方法具有等效的长期生存结果。
