Comparison of efficacy and safety of hybrid video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery vs. thoracotomy sleeve lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer: a propensity score matching study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is unclear whether hybrid video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) sleeve lobectomy (SL) could be an alternative to thoracotomy SL for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of hybrid VATS SL.

Methods

We collected 112 patients who received hybrid VATS SL or thoracotomy SL for primary treatment of NSCLC at Liaoning Cancer Hospital & Institute from November 2016 to September 2021. Perioperative and survival data were collected, and retrospective analysis was conducted on 91 thoracotomy and 21 hybrid VATS SL patients to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two approaches. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize selection bias. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied to compare overall
