Summary

This study tests a special patch (TissuePatch SF) used during lung surgery to prevent air leaks. About 250 adults having planned lung surgery will receive the patch, and doctors will check how well it seals the lung and if it causes any side effects. The goal is to see if the patch helps patients recover more safely.
