Randomized control study comparing quality of life after single-port versus conventional 3-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
- Conditions
- primary lung cancer, metastatic lung cancer, benign tumor of the lung, pneumothorax
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000015340
- Lead Sponsor
- Center of Chest Medicine and Surgery, Ehime University Hospital
- Brief Summary
In this prospective randomized controlled study comparing the efficacy of uniportal VATS with that of conventional 3-port VATS, the primary endpoint was not met, but it showed that pain on PODs 2, 3, 5, and 10 was mild, and the PSS was high. Thus, uniportal VATS is associated with improved levels of chest pain and patient satisfaction in the early stage postoperatively, without differences in complication rates and surgical margins from the lesions.
