Trial Identification

Brief Title: Tubeless VATS for Peripheral Lung Nodule

Official Title: Thoracoscopic Surgery Without Chest Tube Placement in Patients With Peripheral Lung Nodules: A Prospective Randomized Trial

Study ID: NCT02817048

Study Description

Brief 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.

Detailed Description: We will enroll 100 patients with peripheral lung nodule who will be randomly assigned to no chest tube placement (tubeless group) or chest tube placement (control group) after thoracoscopic wedge resection with out without lymph adenectomy. The primary endpoints are to compare the post-operative hospital stay and post-operative pain sale between the two groups. The secondary endpoints are to compare the intercostal neuralgia and wound satisfaction one month after surgery between the two groups.
