Patient-Specific 3D Model-Assisted Preoperative Consultation for Thoracoscopic Lung Resection
Patient-Specific Three-Dimensional Thoracic Anatomical Model-Assisted Preoperative Consultation to Improve Shared Decision-Making in Patients Undergoing Thoracoscopic Lung Resection: A Single-Center Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study is a single-center, cluster randomized controlled trial evaluating whether lung three-dimensional model-assisted preoperative consultation can improve shared decision-making in adult patients undergoing thoracoscopic anatomical lung resection. Six attending thoracic surgeons will be randomized to provide either three-dimensional model-assisted consultation or usual preoperative consultation. Patients in the intervention group will receive consultation supported by a generic lung three-dimensional model and patient-specific three-dimensional reconstruction data generated from routine preoperative imaging. Patients in the control group will receive usual preoperative consultation according to current clinical practice. The primary outcome is patient-perceived shared decision-making measured immediately after consultation using the 9-item Shared Decision-Making Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes include anxiety, disease- and surgery-related knowledge, communication satisfaction, health-related quality of life, decision regret, consultation duration, and postoperative outcomes within 30 days.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Emergency surgery.
- Planned wedge resection only, pneumonectomy, extrapleural pneumonectomy, or non-thoracoscopic open surgery at recruitment.
- Previous major ipsilateral thoracic surgery that substantially alters thoracic anatomy and may make the generic model misleading.
Other illness
- Known cognitive impairment, severe psychiatric disorder, severe visual impairment, severe hearing impairment, or language barrier that prevents effective participation in consultation or questionnaire completion.
- Any other condition judged by the investigators to make the patient unsuitable for this study.
- \-
Other
- Participation in another interventional study expected to affect preoperative anxiety, patient education, decision-making, or perioperative communication.
Who the study is looking for
- Adults aged 18 years or older.
- Scheduled to undergo elective thoracoscopic anatomical lung resection for suspected or confirmed lung tumors, defined as lobectomy or segmentectomy.
- The planned operation and relevant alternatives can be reasonably discussed during preoperative consultation by the attending thoracic surgeon.
- Clinically stable and able to participate in preoperative consultation.
- Able to read, understand, and complete Chinese questionnaires independently or with neutral assistance from research staff.
- Able and willing to provide written informed consent. -
