Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Hemopatch compared to TachoSil in postoperative air leak duration after pulmonary resection.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety of Hemopatch compared to TachoSil in postoperative application after pulmonary resection.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint for assessing the efficacy of Hemopatch compared to TachoSil is the duration of patients’ postoperative air leakage, measured in days.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Air leakage will be assessed on the evening of the day of operation and subsequently at least twice daily (morning and evening) until chest drain removal. All patients will be followed up to 30 days postoperatively.
