Summary

This trial tests whether using a personalized 3D lung model during preoperative consultations helps patients better understand their lung surgery options and feel more involved in decision-making. Adults scheduled for thoracoscopic lung resection for suspected or confirmed lung tumors will receive either standard consultation or one supported by a 3D model of their own lungs. The study measures how much patients feel they shared in the decision, their anxiety, knowledge, and satisfaction.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: 3D lung model and reconstruction
What this could lead to: If it works, this approach could help patients better understand their surgery and feel more involved in decisions.
What could go wrong: This is a small, single-center study, so results may not apply to all hospitals. The 3D model may not improve decision-making more than standard consultation.
