Article Synopsis
- * Results indicated that OPEPT significantly reduced decreases in lung function (measured by FEV and FVC), increased postoperative drainage, and shortened hospital stays compared to standard care.
- * The study concluded that OPEPT has a favorable effect on patient recovery, but further large-scale research is necessary to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
Background: Intrathoracic anastomosis and cervical anastomosis are very common in the esophagectomy of esophageal cancer; we aimed to evaluate the effects and safety of intrathoracic anastomosis versus cervical anastomosis in the esophagectomy.
Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Knowledge, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and WanFang databases up to September 30, 2021, for randomized controlled trials focused on cervical anastomosis versus intrathoracic anastomosis for the treatment of esophageal cancer.
Results: In total, 12 randomized controlled trials involving 1,493 patients were finally included.
Background: Previous randomized controlled trials have compared the efficacy and safety of single chest drain (SCD) and double chest drains (DCD) in the patients undergone pulmonary lobectomy, yet the results remain inconsistent. Therefore, we aimed to conduct this present systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the role of SCD and DCD in the patients undergone pulmonary lobectomy.
Methods: PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Weipu, and China Biomedical Literature databases were searched up to February 28, 2020, to identify the potential RCTs on SCD and DCD in the patients undergone pulmonary lobectomy.
