Brief Summary

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

The investigators aimed to compare the pre-post operative effects of video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, physical activity level, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, inspiratory muscle endurance, quality of life, fatigue, dyspnea perception and pain in patients with pulmonary nodules.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

According to global cancer statistics, lung cancer accounts for 11.6% of all cancer cases and it is the most common type of cancer in the world. Surgery is the primary treatment approach, especially in early stages lung cancer. Cardiopulmonary fitness of patients with lung cancer is lower than healthy individuals due to the disease itself and treatments. Pulmonary function, exercise capacity and physical activity level are affected in lung cancer depending on the resected lung tissue and the type of surgery. VATS and thoracotomy surgeries, which are the most preferred techniques in lung cancer, have advantages and disadvantages over each other. There are few studies compared the early effects of two surgeries on the pulmonary function, exercise capacity, physical activity, quality of life and fatigue. And also, no study compared the effects of two surgeries on respiratory muscle endurance and peripheral muscle strength, previously.

According to sample size calculation, at least 15 patients with pulmonary lesion both VATS and thoracotomy groups would be included in the study. The demographic, physical and physiological characteristics were recorded from the patient files. Pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity, physical activity level, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, inspiratory muscle endurance, quality of life, fatigue, dyspnea perception and pain were evaluated pre and two weeks after postoperative term. Primary outcomes were pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity and physical activity level. Secondary outcomes were respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, inspiratory muscle endurance, quality of life, fatigue, dyspnea perception and pain.

Study Groups

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

Patients with pulmonary nodule scheduled VATS

Patients with pulmonary nodule scheduled VATS were included in this study. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered.

Pulmonary function (spirometry), functional exercise capacity (6-minute walk test (6-MWT); 6-minute stepper test (6-MST)), physical activity level (metabolic holter), respiratory (maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP-MEP); mouth pressure device) and peripheral muscle strength (dynamometer), inspiratory muscle endurance (incremental loading test), quality of life (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTCQOL)), fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale), dyspnea perception (Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (MMRC)) and pain severity (Visual Analog Scale) were assessed before VATS and average two weeks after surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VATS

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a minimal invasive technique in which used to diagnose or treat for lung diseases. During this surgery, one or two small incisions are opened via camera and surgical instruments in patient's chest wall. Thus, less muscle and nerve tissue are damaged.

Thoracotomy is an open surgical technique in which allowing visualization of the inside of the thorax. During this surgery, an incision in patient's chest wall is made between the ribs and some muscles important for respiration are cutted to remove a part of lung.
