Abstract
The role of thulium laser in the treatment of interlobar fissures in lobectomy is not clear. We aimed to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and economy of thulium laser in the treatment of incomplete interlobar fissure during lobectomy. A total of 76 patients were randomly divided into two groups: laser group and stapler group. The laser group was treated with thulium laser and the stapler group with stapler. Compared with stapler group, the laser group had a longer operation time, more postoperative drainage and lower operation cost, while there was no significant difference in hospitalization time, postoperative air leakage time and chest tube duration. Thulium laser is safe and effective in the treatment of incomplete interlobar fissure during lobectomy and can reduce the cost.
