U.S., Nov. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07934966) titled 'Pulmonary Ligament Division vs Preservation in Upper Lobectomy' on Oct. 21.
Brief Summary: This study looks at two different surgical techniques used during lung surgery (upper lobectomy). Surgeons may either divide or preserve a thin tissue band called the pulmonary ligament. The investigators want to understand how this choice affects recovery, including changes in lung size, airway shape, and symptoms such as cough. Forty patients took part, with half receiving ligament division and the other half with ligament preservation post upper lobectomy. Lung volume and airway changes were measured using CT scans, and cough scores were re...
