Comparison of Inflammatory Cytokine Levels Between Single-port and Three-port Thoracoscopic Lobectomy in the Treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Many recent studies have shown that surgical trauma will result in an immunosuppressive state. Combined with the effect of surgical stress, it will often lead to metabolic changes, systemic inflammatory response, and other problems. The body resists and removes the harmful factors through the inflammatory reaction. However, an excessive reaction will damage the normal tissues and cells of the body. The smooth recovery of the body needs to balance the degree of inflammatory reaction. Surgical patients will trigger different degrees of an inflammatory response due to different degrees of physical trauma, which runs through the process of postoperative recovery from the beginning of surgery and often prolongs the time of postoperative recovery. Reducing the intraoperative and postoperative inflammatory response of patients has always been the goal of surgeons, and a method is the reduction of surgical trauma. The successful experience of the first single-port thoracoscopic wedge resection of the lung in 2004 provided us with a new surgical idea. Subsequently, a large number of domestic and international studies and case reports show that single-port thoracoscopic surgery is safe and feasible in lobectomy and segmental resection. With the rapid development of single-port thoracoscopic surgery in recent years, the scope of application and clinical efficacy of the surgery are gradually becoming equivalent to the traditional three-port thoracoscopic surgery, which can ensure the safety of the operation and complete tumor resection, and has its own characteristics and advantages compared with the traditional three-port thoracoscopic surgery. The reduction of incisions can significantly improve the postoperative pain and recovery of patients and wound healing. In addition, single-port thoracoscopic surgery also has a subtle improvement in patients' intraoperative and postoperative inflammatory response compared with traditional three-port thoracoscopic surgery. In this study, we compared and analyzed the intraoperative and postoperative inflammatory factor levels of single-port thoracoscopic surgery and three-port thoracoscopic surgery in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Through the comparison of the measured values, we further discussed the advantages of single-port thoracoscopic surgery in reducing inflammatory response and its application and promotion value in the treatment of patients with NSCLC compared with traditional three-port thoracoscopic surgery.

record postoperative pain 24 hours after surgery by using visual analog scale (VAS) score, where 0 indicates painlessness, and 10 indicates severe pain
