BackgroundTo investigate the value and clinical effect of computed tomography (CT) 3-dimensional reconstruction technology in lung bullae resection.MethodsNinety-eight patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgical resection of lung bullae in our hospital from February 2019 to February 2023 were selected and divided into 2 groups according to the principle of voluntary participation in the clinical trial, of which 43 cases underwent preoperative spiral CT for thin-layer enhancement or planar CT scanning of lung bullae (control group), and 43 cases were imaged with MimicsMedical 21 software for 3-dimensional reconstruction to develop a surgical plan (observation group). To compare the surgery-related indexes, postoperative complications, pain, and analgesic use between the 2 groups, we measured serum creatine phosphokinase and myoglobin levels.ResultsThe amount of surgical bleeding, drainage volume, hospital stay, and postoperative visual analog scale score of the research group were lower than those of the control group (P < .05), and the duration of analgesic medication was shorter than that of the control group (P < .05), and the levels of serum creatine phosphokinase and myoglobin were lower than those of the control group at 1 and 3 days postoperatively, and the differences were statistically significant (P < .05).ConclusionPreoperative CT 3-dimensional reconstruction technique can clearly show the anatomical structures around the lung bullae and has its application value for precise lung bullae.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
