Uni-portal video-assisted thoracoscopic approach is currently a popular surgical technique in general thoracic surgery. After operation, a chest tube is usually placed through the incision to drain the effusion and gas from the thoracic cavity. In the conventional method, the retaining stitches should be taken out ten days after removing chest drain. To get better would-healing and avoid unsightly scar, we explored a method of anchoring chest drain and two-layer suture for Uni-portal incision without removing stitches post operation.
经单操作孔电视胸腔镜手术是目前胸外科常用的一种手术方式。术后常常规经切口留置胸腔引流管以排出胸腔内的积液和积气。在传统的方法中,在拔除胸腔引流管后 10 天取出缝线。为了获得更好的愈合效果,避免难看的疤痕,我们探索了一种在不拆线的情况下固定胸腔引流管和对单操作孔切口进行双层缝合的方法。
