Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparison of Energy Instruments and Stapling Device to Dissect Intersegmental Plane in Segmentectomy (NCT NCT03192904)

NCT ID: NCT03192904

Last Updated: 2021-08-31

Results Overview

The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative complications, including air leakage (defined as a rate of air flow \>50 mL/min lasting more than 3 days), atelectasis (visible on chest X-rays with complaints), hemorrhage (bloody drainage more than 200 mL for 3 consecutive hours), pulmonary infection (visible on chest X-rays with complaint), and pulmonary embolism (confirmed by CT scan).

Measure
Energy Instruments Group
All enrolled patients will accept robot-assisted or uniportal segmentectomy. After cutting off the relevant segmental arteries and veins, we clamp the segmental bronchus, and then the diseased lung will be ventilated to identify the border of segment according to the collapse region. We use energy instruments dissect intersegmental plane along the determined border. If fast-frozen pathology confirms lung cancer, we will do lymphadenectomy. At last, a drainage tube will be placed. Energy Instruments: Energy Instruments, including electrocautery, harmonic scalpel and LigaSure.

All enrolled patients will accept robot-assisted or uniportal segmentectomy. After cutting off the relevant segmental arteries and veins, we clamp the segmental bronchus, and then the diseased lung will be ventilated to identify the border of segment according to the collapse region. We use stapling device to dissect intersegmental plane along the determined border. If fast-frozen pathology confirms lung cancer, we will do lymphadenectomy. At last, a drainage tube will be placed. Stapling Device: Stapling Device, including linear stapler and curved stapler.
