Based on the suturing method used, patients were divided into an observation group (barbed suture combined with non-absorbable needle suture,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200921) and a control group (non-absorbable needle suture alone,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200927). Perioperative indicators including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, chest tube duration, postoperative hospital stay, and arterial blood gas values (pH, PO\u2082, PCO\u2082) before and after surgery were compared between groups. Postoperative complications such as suture loosening or hernia recurrence during follow-up were also assessed.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      All procedures were successfully completed thoracoscopically with no conversions to open surgery.
