Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Method: randomized prospective study includes 60 patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy/ thoracoscopic mediastinal biopsy.
The study will exclude patients with difficult operative course ( intraoperative finding of significant adhesions/ intraoperative injury of the lung parenchyma/ intraoperative bleeding/failure of extubation ) and patient with post operative findings of ( bleeding in the chest tube more than 100 ml in the first hour, persistent air leak, non expanded lung on chest x-ray ) The patients will be divided into two groups, the first group - 30 patients - will undergo chest tube removal after three hours, and the second group will undergo chest tube removal according to the treating department protocol.
All patients will be evaluated regarding the pain level - subjective and objective -, admission period, infection, and the need for invasive intervention.
The patients will be evaluated during the admission, after one week and after two weeks.
