Trial summary

There have been several reports on the feasibility of a no-drain policy after pneumonectomy, but the policy is not widely accepted because silent massive hemorrhage, delayed air leaks, and chylothorax would always be major worries for thoracic surgeons, and all of the researches were retrospective case studies with… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Feasibility of the Application of Thoracic Puncture Tube VS Combination of Puncture Tube and Silicone Tube After Uniportal VATS Pulmonary Lobectomy

There have been several reports on the feasibility of a no-drain policy after pneumonectomy, but the policy is not widely accepted because silent massive hemorrhage, delayed air leaks, and chylothorax would always be major worries for thoracic surgeons, and all of the researches were retrospective case studies with small sample size and insufficient evidence. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to to evaluate safety and feasibility of an improved policy, the application of a small thoracic puncture tube after pulmonary lobectomy.

Read the detailed description

This study will be accepted in patients with uniportal VATS(Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery)lobetomy. A randomized controlled study protocol will be used, and The patients will be devided into two groups: experimental group for the application of a small thoracic puncture tube and control group for the application of Combination of the puncture tube and traditional silicone tube. The intraoperative conditions, postoperative recovery and the incidence of perioperative complications will be compared. The safety and feasibility of the application of the small thoracic puncture tube after pulmonary lobectomy will be evaluated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • thoracic drainage managementProcedure or surgery

    After uniportal VATS pulmonary lobectomy, the traditional silicone tube which placed through the surgical incision was removed in the operating room in the experimental group.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Puncture tube groupExperimentalAfter the operation, the traditional traditional silicone tube which placed through the surgical incision was removed in the operating room, and the small puncture tube was retained for thoracic drainage.
Receives: Procedure: thoracic drainage management
Traditional tubes groupNo interventionRoutine thoracic drainage management measures were adopted, that is, both of the small puncture tube and traditional silicone tube were retained after surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
