Abstract:

Objective

Endoscopic surgery offers many benefits. However, the need for more expensive endoscopic consumables brings further high medical costs. Here, we introduced a method of video-assisted thoracic surgery with no disposable consumables.

Methods

Between Oct. 2011 and Feb. 2016, a series of 84 patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax underwent hand ligation of blebs under biportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or bullectomy with stapler during triportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. After treatment of blebs, pleural abrasion was performed with an electrocautery cleaning pad.

Results

Compared with the group treated by bullectomy with stapler, we found a significant reduction in postoperative costs in the group with bleb ligation. There was no difference in operating time, chest tube drainage(P>0.05), postoperative stay, and recurrence between the two groups[(16 747.30±2 586.41) yuan vs (21 088.54±6 005.68)yuan, P<0.05] .

Conclusions

Biportal thoracoscopic bleb ligation for primary spontaneous pneumothorax is a safe, low-cost, simple and reliable procedure.
