Filter by:This randomized clinical study aims to assess the use of an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device (AEROBIKA) in patients with thoracic neoplasms who undergo chest surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: If the use of the AEROBIKA device reduces the incidence of atelectasis in oncological patients undergoing lung resection. If the use of the AEROBIKA device reduces hospital readmission and days of hospital stay. Participants who accept to participate will be sorted to receive a conventional rehab therapy (group A), otherwise a conventional rehab therapy plus AEROBIKA device (group B). Researchers will compare patients from group A versus group B to see if patients develop atelectasis.
This Phase II study is to determine the efficacy and safety of MR-Linac Guided Radiotherapy in patients with inoperable mediastinal tumors.
Extended thymectomy is the main treatment for thymoma and other anterior mediastinal diseases. Video-assisted thoracic surgery(VATS) plays an important role in the surgery of extended thymectomy. Now, VATS thymectomy through intercostal approach has been the commonly used minimally invasive surgical procedure for thymus surgery and is applied worldwide. But the intercostal approach may cause residue of thymus tissue and chronic pain. In 2013, doctor Marcin Zielin´ski form Poland reported a new technique of minimally invasive extended thymectomy performed through the VATS approach with double elevation of the sternum. And their early results proved this technique is probably the least invasive and the most complete technique of VATS thymectomy with excellent cosmetic results. Until now, doctor Jiang Fan form Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital has performed 50 cases extended thymectomy through the subxiphoid approach with double elevation of the sternum by VATS. This study is designed to compare the curative effect between this new method and traditional intercostal VATS.
TNT surgery is a new area of exploration and evolution in thoracic minimal invasive surgery. TNT Uniportal Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) has become popular during mediastinal tumors resection. However, there has been little randomized controlled trials into the associated feasibility and advantage. The aim of our RCT was to evaluate the feasibility and advantage of TNT Uniportal VATS for mediastinal tumors resection and its significance in Fast Track Surgery (FTS). This is a single-center prospective randomized controlled trial. 98 patients aged between 18 and 75 years with clinically mediastinal tumors were randomly assigned to two groups, 50 patients received TNT uniportal VATS mediastinal tumor resection (TNT group) and 48 patients underwent traditional uniportal VATS mediastinal tumor resection (control group), the short-term perioperative outcomes would be reported here.
The investigators' study aims is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of uniportal VATS under assistance of needlescopic instruments through additional 2-3 mm ports compared to conventional uniportal VATS in patients with lung lesions.
