Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the discomfort of chest wall approach area in patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillary approach (GUA), and to analyze its influencing factors. To provide a basis for the development of targeted improvement measures.Methods:A total of 153 patients with GUA from May. 2023 to Aug. 2023 in the Department of Thyroid Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the study subjects. The general information questionnaire was collected one day before operation, the pain scales were assessed one day and three days after operation, and the pain and numbness scales were assessed one month after operation. The t test or χ2 test was used for comparison of baseline data between groups according to different types of variables. The patients were divided into two groups: less than moderate pain group (two postoperative average VAS scores<4) and more than moderate pain group (two postoperative average VAS scores ≥4). Mild numbness group (postoperative VAS score<4) ; Moderate and severe numbness group (postoperative VAS score ≥4). Multivariate binary Logistic regression was performed with pain discomfort and numbness discomfort as dependent variables to find possible influencing factors. Results:A total of 153 valid questionnaires were collected. There were 125 patients in the moderate pain group; There were 28 patients in the moderate and above pain group. There were 94 patients in the mild numbness group. There were 59 patients in the moderate to severe numbness group. Multivariate binary Logistic regression results showed that, exercise habits ( OR=0.07 95% CI=0.006, 0.409), operation duration ( OR=1.026 95% CI=1.001, 1.054), total drainage volume ( OR=1.122 95% CI=1.07, P<0.05), 1.198), and drainage tube indwelling time ( OR=0.012 95% CI=0.0, 0.187) had an impact on the discomfort of the chest wall approach area, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Gender, BMI, marital status, education, occupation, handed-side surgery, handed-side axillary surgery, smokess and alcohol history, intraoperative blood loss, and length of hospital stay had no effect on the discomfort of chest wall approach area, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:Exercise habits, operation duration, total drainage volume, and drainage duration are independent predictors of discomfort in GUA patients.
