To investigate the effect of lung expansion and collapse method combined with closed vacuum aspiration technique on lung collapse time, reduce the waiting time of surgery. Forty patients with pulmonary peripheral nodules under thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy were divided into 20 cases of natural collapse group and 20 cases of modified collapse group. The natural collapse group used the traditional natural collapse method, and the modified collapse group used a lung expansion and collapse method combined with closed vacuum aspiration technique to record the lung collapse time and compare them. Thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy was successfully performed in both groups. The lung collapse time in the natural collapse group and the modified collapse group was 17.08 ± 1.35, 8.90 ± 0.39, respectively, P < .05. The lung expansion and collapse method combined with closed vacuum aspiration technique can reduced the waiting time of lung collapse during thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy, and can processed the inter-segment boundary better, thereby reduced the waiting time of surgery.
