Abstract

Objectives: Comment on complications of postoperative prolonged air leakage (PAL) of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy (VATS lobectomy) for treating non-small cell lung cancer at Viet Duc University Hospital in the period of 2016-2018. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of PAL ratio/ 84 patients underwent VATS lobectomy with lymph node dissection. Results: The mean age of study group was 57.4±9.52 (from 25 to 78 years old), the male/female ratio = 1.9. The operative time of the PAL group with n = 6 was 213.33 ± 78.91 minutes (the study group with n = 84 was 169.2 ± 47.2 minutes), the chest drainage time of the PAL with n = 6 was 12.33 ± 1.97 days (the study group with n = 84 was 6.31 ± 2.15 days), the hospital stay of the PAL was n = 6 was 14.50 ± 1.87 days (the study group with n = 84 was 9.56 ± 2.56 days). Postoperative PAL ratio: 7.2%. Conclusion: Prolonged air leakage following VATS lobectomy is a common complication in clinical practice. Management of this complication depends on each specific situation in which good intraoperative techiques and postoperative pleural lavage have an important role.
