Abstract:
Objective Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is widely used in clinical practice,due to the characteristics of minimal invasion,quick recovery,low incidence of postoperative chest pain and the same effect of lobectomy as thoracotomy.However,the surgical itself has a certain degree of difficulty,and due to the effect of lymph node,intraoperative blood loss,pleural adhesions,conversion to thoracotomy surgery is needed in some cases. Understanding the risk factors of conversion to thoracotomy can help thoracic surgeons figure out the right time to operate the surgery.
