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 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 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 trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer: robotic-assisted (RATS) versus video-assisted (VATS). It aims to see which approach is better for removing a lobe or part of a lobe, focusing on recovery and safety.
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 looks at how to predict sleep problems on the first night after lung surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy or segmentectomy). It aims to help patients sleep better and improve their recovery in the hospital ward.
This study checks if the length of time one lung is ventilated (breathing for you) during chest surgery affects your risk of lung complications after surgery. It may help doctors plan safer surgeries.
