Table 4 Comparison of perioperative and postoperative results between pathological subtypes and surgical techniques
Pathological subtypes | Postoperative length of hospital stays, day, median (p = 0.843) | Drainage duration, day, median (p = 0.459) | Perioperative complication, n (%) (p = 0.022) |
|---|---|---|---|
Bronchogenic cyst (n = 71) | 5.59 | 5.07 | 5 (7.2) |
Sequestration (n = 15) | 6.00 | 5.54 | 5 (38.5) |
Others (n = 8) (Enteric duplication cyst, bronchial atresia, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation) | 6.30 | 5.40 | 2 (20) |
Operation type | Postoperative length of hospital stays, day, median(p = 0.706) | Drainage duration, day, median(p = 0.717) | Perioperative complication, n (%) (p = 0.343) |
VATS | 6.04 | 5.38 | 5(19.2) |
Thoracotomy | 5.74 | 5.12 | 7(12.3) |
Postoperative period (day) | Pain score in VATS group (mean ± SD) | Pain score in Thoracotomy group (mean ± SD) | P value |
1 | 3.23 ± 0.84 | 3.86 ± 0.92 | 0.045 |
2 | 2.47 ± 0.80 | 3.15 ± 1.15 | 0.025 |
