Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of video-assisted mini-thoracotomy ( VAMT) in the treat-ment of non-small-cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) and the prognosis .Methods Ninety-five patients treated with VAMT ( mini-mally invasive group ) and 94 patients treated with conventional thoracotomy ( conventional group ) received the radical re-section of pulmonary carcinoma .The clinical data of the two groups were retrospectively analyzed and we compared the cur -ative effect and the prognosis of the two groups .Results The blood loss , drainage tube indwelling time , the frequency of using analgesics , postoperative complications and postoperative hospital stay in patients of the minimally invasive group were less than those of the conventional group , and significant difference was found between the two groups (all P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in the operative time and the number of lymph nodes removed between the two groups (all P>0.05).There were no significant differences in the overall survival after surgery and progression -free survival between the two groups (all P>0.05).Conclusions VAMT in the treatment of NSCLC can complete the radical resection of the tumor and the lymph node system .The long-term effect of VAMT is not inferior to the conventional thoracot-omy, including less trauma and faster recovery .
