Abstract
ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate the clinical value of rigid bronchoscopy combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy in patients with early bronchogenic lung cancer who underwent sleeve lobectomy. Methods A retrospective study was performed on 76 patients with early bronchogenic lung cancer admitted to our center from March 2016 to March 2017. Patients in the control group received conventional sleeve lobectomy (n = 38), while patients in the observation group underwent sleeve lobectomy by using rigid bronchoscopy combining fiberoptic bronchoscopy (n = 38). We compared perioperative period indicators and the recovery of pulmonary function indexes one month after the operation were compared in two groups. The prognosis of the patients were also analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, the intraoperative blood loss, operation duration and airway reconstruction duration in the observation group were significantly reduced. The total incidence of perioperative complications was markedly lower in the observation group than in the control group. The percentage of DLCO% was significantly improved in the observation group. The relapse-free survival (RFS) in the observation group was remarkably longer than in the control group. Conclusion Rigid bronchoscopy combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy is beneficial to improve the clinical outcome and prognosis of patients with early bronchogenic lung cancer more effectively.
