New stitch technique aims to stop rare lung complication
NCT ID NCT06924515
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if an extra stitch between the ribs during lung surgery can prevent a rare complication called lung hernia, where lung tissue bulges through the chest wall. About 104 adults having lung surgery will be split into two groups: one gets the extra stitch, the other gets standard closure. Researchers will check for lung hernia on a CT scan 3 months after surgery.
