Efficacy of multi-groove silicone drains in single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery and their effect on C-reactive protein: a single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a multi-groove silicone drain in single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery and its effect on postoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 122 surgical cases who underwent standard lobectomy and lymph node dissection for primary lung cancer between May 2020 and December 2020. A total of 62 patients received 19-F multi-groove silicone drains (experimental group) and 60 patients received 24-F conventional chest drains (control group). According to the different thoracic drainage approaches, the clinical efficacy in the perioperative period, postoperative complications, and postoperative serum CRP levels were compared
