Tubeless VATS for Lung Cancer Surgery
A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study Evaluating Lung Injury, Long-term Clinical Outcomes, and Environmental Impact of Tubeless Versus Intubated Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery for Lung Cancer Resection
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This prospective cohort study evaluates lung injury, long-term clinical outcomes, and environmental impacts of tubeless video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) compared with conventional intubated VATS for lung cancer resection. The study aims to determine whether the tubeless approach reduces anesthetic exposure, minimizes lung injury, enhances patient recovery, and decreases carbon emissions, contributing toward sustainable surgical practices.
