Preserving lung ligament in lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether keeping the inferior pulmonary ligament attached during surgery for the upper lung lobe helps people feel better afterward. You can join if you are having this surgery and can fill out questionnaires about how you feel.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove one of your upper lung lobes.
- You are able to complete simple questionnaires about your symptoms.
- You have not had surgery on the same side of your lung before.
- You have not had a procedure called pleurodesis (where the lung is stuck to the chest wall).

This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
This trial tests if special breathing exercises before surgery can help prevent lung complications after laparoscopic (keyhole) liver surgery. It may benefit you by reducing your risk of pneumonia or other breathing issues after the procedure.
This study looks at whether re-inflating the lung after one-lung ventilation during keyhole lung surgery helps patients recover better. It may be an option if you are having a lobe or segment removed for lung cancer and your overall health is fairly good.
This study looks at different ways of giving breathing support during laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help doctors find the safest settings for the ventilator (breathing machine) to protect your lungs during the procedure.
This study tests two methods of managing breathing during lung surgery to find which one keeps lungs working better. It may help patients who need a part of their lung removed by video or robot-assisted surgery.
This trial tests two different ways of using a breathing machine during surgery to remove a lung lobe. It aims to find which method works better for patients like you.
