Hospital stay after keyhole lung surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how long people stay in the hospital after keyhole surgery to remove a part of the lung. It aims to find out what affects recovery time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned lung surgery using small incisions (keyhole surgery).
- The surgery must remove a specific part of the lung (lobectomy or segmentectomy).
- Your surgery cannot be due to a traumatic injury.
- You must not already be in the hospital for another medical reason.
- You must give written permission before your surgery.

This trial looks at a common breathing technique used during lung surgery. It tests whether a specific way of re-expanding the collapsed lung after surgery improves your recovery. If you're having keyhole surgery to remove part of a lung, this study may help you breathe better afterwards.
This study tests whether removing the chest tube right after a small lung surgery (wedge resection) helps patients recover faster and with less pain. It compares the usual care with a tubeless approach.
This study looks at how the right side of the heart handles the stress of having a lung lobe removed. It compares different surgery types (VATS, robotic, or open) and focuses on people with moderate to high heart and lung risk factors.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive lung surgery for early-stage lung cancer. One method uses a robotic arm, the other uses a small camera and long instruments through small cuts. The goal is to see which one gives better results for removing the cancer.
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.
This study tests a personalized way of ventilating (breathing support) the lungs during chest surgery to see if it reduces breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients recover more smoothly after a minimally invasive chest operation.
