[A Prospective Study of Da Vinci Surgical Robotic System with Chest Wall External Nursing Interventions].

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive and rapid recovery are trends in surgical treatment of lung cancer, and Da Vinci Surgical Robotic System plays an important role in them. This study was planned to explore the effect of chest wall external nursing interventions on reducing postoperative thoracic drainage and promoting rapid recovery of patients. METHODS: The patients who underwent robotic radical lung cancer resection in our hospital from November 2017 to April 2018were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received robotic radical lung cancer resection with abdominal bands wrapped around the chest. The experimental group underwent Da Vinci robotic radical lung cancer surgery and assisted chest wall external nursing interventions after surgery. RESULTS: The total and average daily drainage of the experimental group were less than those of the control group. Both the extubation time and the hospitalization time were shorter than those of the control group, but there was no significant difference. The pain score in the second days after operation of the experimental group was slightly higher than that of the control group, with no significant statistical difference. For patients whose chest wall thickness is less than 4 cm, mirabilite external application can significantly reduce the average daily and total drainage volume, but there is no significant difference in extubation time and hospitalization time. CONCLUSIONS: Chest wall external nursing interventions are beneficial to the recovery of patients undergoing Vinci robotic lung cancer surgery. Especially for patients with thinner chest wall. It can reduce postoperative drainage, shorten tube retention time and accelerate discharge. Further improvement is expected to achieve better clinical results.
