VATS

This study tested a new way to do lung cancer surgery without using a breathing tube or ventilator. Instead, patients breathe on their own during the operation. The goal was to see if this 'tubeless' method causes less lung injury, helps patients recover faster, and reduces pollu…

This study tests two different nerve blocks to control pain after video-assisted lung surgery. One block targets a muscle plane, the other targets individual nerves. Researchers will measure pain levels, opioid use, and breathing problems in 80 adults aged 18-80. The goal is to f…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (serratus anterior plane block and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. 60 adults aged 18-65 were enrolled. Researchers measured pain levels and patient satisfaction to see w…

This study looked at how patients recover right after two different types of chest surgery: open surgery (thoracotomy) and keyhole surgery (VATS). Researchers measured fear of movement, pain, breathing difficulty, fatigue, and anxiety in 18 adults before they left the hospital. T…

This study looked at 60 adults having lung surgery (VATS) to see how three different anesthesia methods affect stress markers in the blood. The goal was to measure changes in oxidative stress, not to treat a disease. Results may help doctors choose the best anesthesia for future …

This completed trial with 66 participants compared two methods for marking small lung nodules before minimally invasive surgery: navigational bronchoscopy using a green dye (ICG) and CT-guided radioisotope injection. The goal was to see which method helps surgeons find and remove…
