Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chest tubes are used routinely although preliminary studies demonstrate the feasibility and safety of intraoperative chest drain removal. Previous studies are however either retrospective or mainly concerning benign disease.

Hypothesis: Participants treated without post-operative chest tube after thoracoscopic wedge resection have less pain, better pulmonary function and similar complication profile than participants treated with standard post-operative chest tube, and could possibly be discharged earlier.

Study Design

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Caregivers
Randomization occurs after ended surgery, thus masking allocation to the personnel and participant. After Randomization, there is no masking.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Chest tube group

Participants undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection with a positive intraoperative sealing test are treated with a standard post-operative chest tube.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Intraoperative sealing test

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A standard 28 Fr chest tube is inserted through the anterior port hole and all port holes are closed. With the tip of the chest tube below water, the pleura is emptied from air during continuous ventilation of the lungs. An air leak after 5 minutes of ventilation indicates a negative sealing test, whereas a cessation of air leak within 5 minutes indicates a positive sealing test.

Standard post-operative chest tube

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A regular chest tube is left in the pleura.

No chest tube group

Participants undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection with a positive intraoperative sealing test are treated with intraoperative chest tube removal.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intraoperative sealing test

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A standard 28 Fr chest tube is inserted through the anterior port hole and all port holes are closed. With the tip of the chest tube below water, the pleura is emptied from air during continuous ventilation of the lungs. An air leak after 5 minutes of ventilation indicates a negative sealing test, whereas a cessation of air leak within 5 minutes indicates a positive sealing test.

Intraoperative chest tube removal

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Chest tube is removed intraoperatively.
