Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of applying thoracoscope combined with internal support system of chest wall (ISSW) in minimally invasive internal fixation for rib fracture on patients with multiple rib fractures. A total of 84 patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation for rib fracture from January 2017 to December 2017 in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Tianjin Hospital were selected into the study, and retrospective analyses were carried out. The clinical data, pain score, operating time, intraoperative blood loss, indwelling time of thoracic tube, total drainage volume of thoracic tube for 3 days after operation, indwelling time of wound drainage tube, total drainage volume of wound drainage tube, length of stay, hospitalization costs, postoperative complications, C‑reactive protein (CRP) and pulmonary function of patients in the groups were compared. The patients were followed up for prognosis for 2‑4 months via re‑examination, and chest numbness at 1 month after operation was recorded. Compared with that (145.27±18.80 min) in the traditional group, the operating time in the minimally invasive group (112.20±21.40 min) was shorter (p<0.05). The total drainage volume of wound drainage tube was 145.75±61.03 ml in the minimally invasive group and 248.91±93.95 ml in the traditional group (p<0.05). In addition, the chest numbness at 1 month after operation (11.8%) in the minimally invasive group was better than that (34.00%) in the traditional group (p<0.05). Postoperative pain score, CRP and pulmonary function tests were also significantly different between the two groups (p<0.05). The results indicated that the application of thoracoscope combined with ISSW in minimally invasive internal fixation for rib fracture can effectively improve the prognosis of patients and reduce the length of stay and adverse reactions, and has high economic benefits, which is worthy of promotion and use in clinical practice.
