Video-assisted thoracoscopic versus open thoracotomy lobectomy in a cohort of 13,619 patients.
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is becoming increasingly popular for lung resection in some centers. However, the issue of whether VATS or open thoracotomy is better remains controversial. We compared outcomes of open and VATS lobectomy in a national database. METHODS Using the 2004 and 2006 Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, we identified 13,619 discharge records of...

A literature search was conducted on June 31, 2012 using combinations of the search terms video-assisted thoracic surgery, open thoracotomy, lobectomy, a...
متن کاملMuscle-sparing versus posterolateral thoracotomy: a prospective study.
OBJECTIVE Although the thoracotomy incision is guided in part by the exposure required, both cosmesis and the potential for improved recovery are important factors to be taken into account. We conducted a prospective randomized study in order to compare muscle sparing thoracotomy (MST) and standard posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT) for postoperative pain and physical function during and after ho...
متن کاملA comparative cost analysis study of lobectomy performed via video-assisted thoracic surgery versus thoracotomy in Turkey
INTRODUCTION Cost analysis studies performed in western countries report that the overall cost of lobectomies performed via video-assisted thoracic surgery is similar to or less than those performed via thoracotomy. The situation may be different in a developing country. AIM We evaluated the cost differences of these two surgical methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the...
