Objective To evaluate the efficacy of single-port thoracoscopic versus traditional three-port thoracoscopic treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods A total of 80 early-stage NSCLC patients admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to January 2025 were randomly divided into two groups using a randomized number table method, with 40 patients in each group (control and observation). The two groups received either traditional three-port thoracoscopic radical resection or single-port thoracoscopic treatment respectively. Results The observation group demonstrated superior perioperative outcomes (P<0.05). Postoperative pain levels were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). A comprehensive analysis of complications between the two groups revealed a marked reduction in complications in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion For clinical early non-small cell lung cancer patients, radical lung cancer treatment with single hole thoracoscopy is more effective than traditional three-hole thoracoscopy.
