Tubeless VATS for Peripheral Lung Nodule

NCT02817048 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chest tube placement after thoracoscopy surgery had been generally accepted as routine procedure for removal of the residual intrapleural fluid and air, however, it would cause post-operative pain, prohibit ambulation after surgery, and prolong the hospital stay. According to the recent studies, omission of chest tube placement after minor thoracoscopic procedures (such as pulmonary wedge resection) had been safe and feasible, and it also reduced the post-operative pain and shortened the hospital stay. We will conduct a prospective randomized trial in National Taiwan University Hospital.
