Comparing two stitches for lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two types of stitches used to repair lung tears or remove lung tissue. It aims to find which stitch works better for healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to repair a lung tear.
- You are having surgery to remove a lung blister (bullectomy) or a lung section (lobectomy).
- Your lung injury will be repaired with stitches, not with a stapler.
