Summary

This prospective cohort study evaluates lung injury, long-term clinical outcomes, and environmental impacts of tubeless video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) compared with conventional intubated VATS for lung cancer resection. The study aims to determine whether the tubeless approach reduces anesthetic exposure, minimizes lung injury, enhances patient recovery, and decreases carbon emissions, contributing toward sustainable surgical practices.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Tubeless thoracic surgery

Tubeless thoracic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed without tracheal intubation or mechanical ventilation, allowing for spontaneous breathing. Anesthesia combines conscious sedation with local nerve blocks to ensure pain relief while preserving diaphragmatic movement. The surgical approach is similar to conventional video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), used for procedures like lung resections and mediastinal mass excisions. Post-operative care focuses on early mobilization and quick discharge.
