Multiple-portal VATS Versus Uniportal VATS Lobectomy for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Not Applicable
Conditions
Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Conventional VATS
Procedure: Uniportal VATS
Registration Number
NCT02462356
Lead Sponsor
Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

This study evaluate multiple-portal VATS and uniportal VATS lobectomy for NSCLC, half of participants will receive multiple VATS, while the other half will receive uniportal VATS lobectomy.

Detailed Description

Conventional VATS and uniportal VATS lobectomy can be performed each for NSCLC. Conventional VATS lobectomy employ 3 or 4 ports for completing the operation. Usually the camera port is performed at the seventh or eighth intercostals space within the trocar, so it's easy to cause the intercostals nerve and vessel injure, and still create obvious pain.

However, the lobectomy for lung cancer can be accomplished with a single incision. According to the initial results, Uniportal VATS (UVATS) lobectomy procedure has been wide adopted by less acess trauma, relieve postoperative pain. But these were retrospective and descriptive, not randomized study. Further randomized control studies will be required to demonstrate that there are more benefits in UVATS techniques compared with conventional VATS for lobectomy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
short-term quality of life(EQ5D) between the two groupsUp to 6 month

To observe differences of short-term effects(bleeding volume during operation,operation time, hospital mortality, hospital stay and so on) between two groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
lung functionpre-operative, 3 weeks, 3 months after surgery

lung function will be measured at pre-operative, 3 weeks, 3 months after surgery

Pain Scores after surgery1, 3 days and 1, 3 months after surgery

Pain Scores will be measured by Brief pain inventory

intra-operative and postoperative complicationsform the day of surgery up to discharege (expected within 1 month)

Surgical Complications include conversion rate, bleeding, air leakage, pain, cardiac arrhythmias, wound infection, pulmonary complications, pulmonary function will be measured.

The surgeon's ergonomic influence during operation(blinks/min)The video is capture every 5 minutes and lasted for 1 minute
