Minimally invasive treatment for lung cancer Thoracoscopic assisted minimally invasive lung cancer resection is a new type of surgery. It makes an observation hole in the chest wall and puts in a TV camera device to observe the situation inside the chest, and then makes 1-3 operation holes to enter surgical instruments and complete the corresponding surgical operation under the TV screen image. Advantages of minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer treatment 1. The chest wall hole of thoracoscopic surgery is only about 1.5 cm, so the surgery is less traumatic, which can significantly reduce the pain and surgical danger of patients compared with the 30 cm incision of conventional surgery. 2.Faster recovery and shorter hospitalization time after surgery. However, at the same time, it also has its limitations. When the resected specimen is large, such as pneumonectomy, it needs to be completed by auxiliary small incision, and when serious thoracic adhesions or tumor invasion or large bleeding is encountered, it needs to be transferred to open chest. Indications for minimally invasive lung cancer surgery Early stage non-small cell lung cancer (diameter <5cm; no invasion of chest wall or bronchus; no enlargement of hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes). Other malignant lung diseases (e.g. palliative treatment of metastatic lung cancer); benign lung diseases (pulmonary alveoli, bronchiectasis, pulmonary cysts, benign lung tumors, etc.). Conclusion: Minimally invasive surgical treatment for lung cancer does not play the same role for patients with different disease processes. Patients can choose the appropriate treatment modality according to their disease progress and needs for minimally invasive lung cancer surgery treatment.
