Objective To analyze and compare the clinical effects of thoracoscopic lobectomy with conventional thoracotomy in patients with lung cancer. Methods In this study, 40 lung cancer patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected, and all patients were divided into two groups, including observation group and control group, with 20 patients in each group. The patients in the control group underwent conventional thoracotomy, and the observation group underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy to compare the final treatment results of the two groups in detail. Results The comparison between the two groups showed that the operation time, postoperative drainage time, exhaust time, activity time and hospital time were shorter than that of the control group of the patients, the postoperative pain was less than that of the control group, the complication rate was lower than that of the control group, and the improvement of lung function and quality of life was better than that of the control group, (P <0.05). Conclusion Timely thoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer patients can achieve more ideal treatment effect, reduce the postoperative pain, reduce the occurrence of complications, and improve the prognosis and quality of life.
