Abstract: Objective To evaluate the advantage of video-assisted mini thoracotomy for patients with esophageal cancer compared with routine open thomcotomy.Methods Perioperative clinical results were compared between 24 csses received VAMT(test group)and 26 cases underwent routine open thoracotomy(control group)during the same period.All the cancer stages were T2-3N0-1M0.Results This study showed that VAMT Was a minimally invasive swgew with shorter operation time(40.0±3.3)min vs.(70.3±3.2)min,P＜0.05)and had less bleeding volume both during and after operation compared to the control group(108.1±15.2)ml V8.(200.1±11.3)ml,(380.8±45.4)ml vs.(780.1±52.2)ml,P＜0.05).No significant differences were observed in the two groups with respect to complication occurrence rate(4.2%vs.19.2%,P＞0.05).Conclusion It is suggested that VAMT is safe,reliable and less invasive in the treatmem of esophagus carcinoma.
