Staple line types in lung lobe removal surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of staple lines used when removing a lung lobe in people with lung cancer. It aims to see if one method reduces air leaks or other complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with lung cancer that requires removing an entire lobe of your lung.
- You are not eligible for a smaller surgery that removes only part of a lobe.
- You have not had previous lung surgery on the same side.
- You do not have a history of scar tissue in the lining around your lungs.

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 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 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 study compares two types of lung cancer surgery — removing only the part of the lung with the tumor (segmentectomy) versus removing the entire lobe (lobectomy) — for patients with early-stage lung cancer that is 2-3 cm. The goal is to see if the smaller surgery works just as well while preserving more lung function.
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.
This study compares two types of lung surgery for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (a common type of lung cancer). One surgery removes a small part of the lung (segment), the other removes an entire lobe (a larger section of the lung). The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes for tumors that are between 2 and 3 centimeters across and are solid (not just ground-glass).
