Abstract:
Objective:To explore the special situation in subxiphoid uniportal VATS surgery and summarize the treatment strategies.
Methods:In September 2014, the subxiphoid uniportal VATS surgery was carried out. Up to now, our research team has completed more than 300 subxiphoid uniportal VATS operations, especially including 242 cases of subxiphoid uniportal VATS segmentectomy and 22 cases of subxiphoid uniportal VATS mediastinal tumor resection. Some special situations were encountered during the operation, including cardiac arrest, pericardial tamponade, innominate venous injury, severe arrhythmia, difficulty in positioning the lung segment, and difficulty in positioning the small nodule et al.
Results:Some patients changed the surgical procedure during surgery due to intraoperative emergencies such as severe arrhythmia, heart problems, intraoperative bleeding. Postoperative complications mainly included thoracotomy and hemostasis, continuous air leak after operation, pulmonary hematoma, arrhythmia, and no perioperative death.
Conclusion:Under the subxiphoid uniportal VATS surgery is an important manifestation of the minimally invasive technique of the chest. It is safe and feasible to select suitable cases, master the thoracoscopic technique and special surgical techniques. Special situations during subxiphoid uniportal VATS surgery should be known.
