Clinical Trial Summary

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Thoracoscopic pulmonary resection is a prevalent management for early stage of lung cancer. Placement of traditional chest tube is the standard procedure after surgery, which causes pain that cannot be ignored. We aimed to determine whether a modified thoracic drainage strategy based on pigtail catheter associated with better clinical results compared with traditional methods after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer.
