Brief summary

The aim of this study is to perform a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled study to explore whether closed insufflation technique is not inferior to dilatation and collapse technique in segmentectomy, and to provide a new option for establishing intersegmental plane in segmentectomy.

Detailed description

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled study. A total of 200 subjects undergoing segmentectomy are scheduled to be enrolled within 1 year, and the subjects are randomly divided into closed insufflation group or dilatation and collapse group using a random number table generated by the computer, with 100 cases in each group. Intersegmental plane resolution grading, perioperative complications, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospitay stay, and pulmonary function 3 months and 1 year after surgery will be extracted and compared between the groups.

Interventions

PROCEDUREImplementation of closed insufflation technique during segmentectomy

After the identification the targeted segmental bronchus during the operation,ligating the proximal end of the targeted bronchus. Put the vessel separation forceps in the distal bronchial space to avoid the accidental damage of the vessels. Use a 50ml syringe to inject air into the distal bronchus (about 100ml is expected) until the intersegmental plane is satisfactory. Divide the target bronchus using the cutting and closing device.

PROCEDUREImplementation of dilatation and collapse technique during segmentectomy

Divide the target bronchus using the cutting and closing device. Ask the anesthesiologist to inflate the lung completely from pure oxygen to the affected side and then change to single lung ventilation. Wait for the intersegmental plane to appear(usually about 15 minutes).

Inclusion criteria

1. Patients voluntarily join and sign a written informed consent; 2. The age of the subjects is 18-75 years old, regardless of gender; 3. The ECOG PS was 0 or 1; 4. Three-dimensional visualization was performed before surgery, and the surgeon judged that the tumor could be completely removed by segmentectomy, and surgical margin was expected to be greater than 2cm or the maximum diameter of the nodule; 5. Thin-slice CT suggests any of the following: ① The diameter of pulmonary nodules is 2-3cm and the consolidation-tumor ratio (CTR) is less than 0.25; ② Pulmonary nodule diameter ≤2cm and 0.25 \< CTR \< 0.5; ③ Non-peripheral pulmonary nodule diameter ≤2cm and CTR≤0.25; 6. cN0 and no distant metastasis; 7. Intraoperative freezing examination or postoperative paraffin examination suggest early lung adenocarcinoma; 8. Intraoperative freezing disease of station 12 lymph nodes showed no cancer metastasis; 9. Preoperative anesthesia risk assessment: American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Level I-III; 10. Has no history of lung resection; 11. Has not received anti-tumor therapy such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Exclusion criteria

1. The subject did not understand the study protocol, did not cooperate or refused to sign the informed consent; 2. The subject has a history of malignant tumor or has previously received anti-tumor therapy; 3. 3D visualization was not received before surgery; 4. The surgeon judged that segmentectomy could not ensure complete resection of the tumor; 5. has a history of lung resection, or chest trauma or surgery on the affected side of chest cavity; 6. Extensive intraoperative dense thoracic adhesion; 7. Conversion to thoracotomy; 8. Intraoperative frozen examination of intrapulmonary lymph nodes indicated cancer metastasis; 9. Pulmonary nodules are located in the right middle lung; 10. Suffered from chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma and other chronic lung diseases; 11. Other conditions unsuitable for inclusion in this study deemed by the researcher.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intersegmental plane clarity gradingintraoperativelyIntersegmental plane clarity will be graded as followed: G1: partial collapse of targeted parenchymal tissue, G2: partial dilatation of non-targeted adjacent tissue, G3: dilatation of targeted tissue and unclearness of intersegmental plane, G4: entire dilatation of targeted tissue and clearness of intersegmental plane.
Surgical complicationsUp to 3 monthsSurgical complications will be assessed according to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database criteria.
Operative time required for segmentectomyFrom the dissection of segmental structures to finish of segementectomyOperative time required for segmentectomy will be measured as the total minutes from initiation to completion of segmentectomy.
Pulmonary function 3 months and 1 year after surgeryUp to 1 yearPulmonary function includes ventilation and diffusion function. Pulmonary function will be measured at two time points including 3 months and 1 year after surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intraoperative blood lossIntraoperativelyIntraoperative blood loss will be measured as the total volume of blood loss during the operation.
Volume of targeted parenchymal tissueUp to 3 daysVolume of targeted parenchymal tissue will be calculated by 3D reconstruction tool.
Postoperative hospital stayUp to 2 weeksPostoperative hospital stay will be measured as the number of days between surgery and discharge.
Days of chest tube placementUp to 2 weeksDays of chest tube placement will be measured as the number of days between surgery and chest tube pull-out.
Safety marginUp to 1 weekMinimum distance between nodule and every margin can be measured preoperatively by 3D reconstruction tool and intraoperatively by ruler after the targetd segment has been resected.
