Background: This study aimed to explore the clinical value of 3D video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in dissecting recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes in patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 205 patients, including 120 males, who underwent esophagectomy from May 2018 to May 2020 in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the Affiliated Huai'an No.1 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Perioperative parameters, including intraoperative blood loss, operation time, the number of dissected recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes, the incidence and degree of postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, the volume of postoperative thoracic drainage, and postoperative complications, were compared between the 3D and 2D groups. Results: There were no significant differences in the preoperative baseline data between these two groups (P > 0.05). The number of dissected recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes in the 3D group was significantly higher than in the 2D group (P < 0.05). The operation times were significantly shorter in the 3D group than in the 2D group (P < 0.05). The volume of thoracic drainage in the first 2 days was significantly less in the 3D group than in the 2D group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Compared to the 2D system, the application of 3D video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in minimally invasive esophagectomy can increase the number of dissected recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes and ensure safety. Additionally, it can reduce the duration of the operation, decrease early postoperative thoracic drainage volume, and promote patient recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
