Brief Summary

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

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Thoracoscopic pulmonary resection is a prevalent management for early stage of lung cancer. Placement of traditional chest tube is the standard procedure after surgery, which causes pain that cannot be ignored. We aimed to determine whether a modified thoracic drainage strategy based on pigtail catheter associated with better clinical results compared with traditional methods after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer.

Study Groups

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

modified thoracic drainage group

After surgery, both a chest tube and a pigtail catheter are inserted into the middle and posterior axillary lines of the 7th intercostal space, respectively.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

pigtail catheter

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

After inserting the chest tube, add a pigtail catheter into the posterior axillary lines of the 7th intercostal.

traditional thoracic drainage group

After surgery, only a chest tube is inserted into the midaxillary line of the 7th intercostal space, traditionally.
