Not Applicable
- Conditions
- Postsurgical state after pulmonary lobectomy
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000009661
- Lead Sponsor
- Department of Thoracic Surgery, Kanazawa Medical University
- Brief Summary
A total of 108 patients were registered in the study. There were no significant differences in the age, gender, pathological stage or histological type between two groups. Since the residual lung expansion was good in both groups, there were no patients who needed thoracentesis. There were no significant differences in the number of cases with pleurodesis, the amount/duration of drainage or the pain of the patients between two groups. Since PD1 has advantages in saving cost and time and in low risk of transcutaneous infection, PD1 is appropriate after pulmonary lobectomy by VATS and by open thoracotomy.
