Staple line reinforcement during lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of sealing the lung after removing an entire lobe for cancer. It tests whether using a special material to reinforce the staple line helps reduce air leaks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having a type of lung surgery called a 'fissureless lobectomy' to remove an entire lobe of your lung for lung cancer.
- Your cancer cannot be treated with a smaller surgery (like removing only part of the lobe).
- You have not had lung surgery on the same side before.
- You do not have a history of scar tissue (pleural adhesions) in the chest.

This trial compares two lung-surgery options for small lung adenocarcinoma (≤ 2 cm): removing a lung segment versus removing an entire lobe. It aims to see which operation controls the cancer while preserving lung function.
This study looks at a type of lung cancer surgery called sleeve lobectomy done with small incisions (minimally invasive). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with non-small cell lung cancer that requires removing a part of the lung and reconnecting the airway.
This trial compares two types of lung surgery—removing a small lung segment versus removing an entire lung lobe—for small lung adenocarcinoma (≤ 2 cm). It may help you choose the safest approach that still controls the cancer.
This trial tests whether a special stitch between the ribs during lung surgery can prevent a rare complication where lung tissue bulges out of the chest wall. It is for people having lung surgery through several small incisions.
This trial tests whether a bovine reinforcement material helps make staple lines in stomach, colorectal, and lung surgeries stronger and safer. It may reduce the risk of leaks or bleeding at the staple line.
This study tests whether adding a special reinforcement patch to the surgical stapler during stomach cancer surgery helps reduce complications. It compares this to the standard stapler method.
