Abstract:

Aim. To assess the outcomes of video-assisted techniques compared with conventional procedures. Material and methods. 596 victims with thoracic injuries were enrolled. Video-assisted techniques were applied in 236 cases, conventional procedures — 360 patients. Groups were standardized by the type of surgery. Morbidity, hospital-stay and mortality according to Clavien-Dindo classification have been analyzed. Results. There was similar incidence of complications in both groups. However, severe adverse events followed by redo surgery under general anesthesia occurred in 1.2% and 7.1% of cases respectively (p<0.05). Hospital-stay was 11.3±3.6 and 14.5±5.3 days respectively (p<0.05). Mortality was 0.58% vs. 1.08% respectively (p>0.05). Conclusion. In victims with thoracic injuries and no need for urgent thoracotomy video-assisted techniques are preferable for diagnosis and treatment.
