Comparison of Clinical Effects of Absorbable and Non-absorbable Suture in Bronchial Sleeve Resection
Bronchial sleeve resection is performed as an alternative to pneumonectomy for lung cancer patients with centrally located lesions and limited cardiopulmonary reserve. Intraoperative bronchial anastomosis is very complex and difficult, mainly due to the difficulty of suturing and knotting in limited space. There are currently few studies comparing the clinical effects of absorbable and non-absorbable suture in bronchial sleeve resection. So the investigator wants to conduct a prospective study, trying to figure out this problem.
• Age 18 to 75 years old.
• The tumor is located in the opening of bronchus, or the edge of the tumor is less than 2 cm away from the opening of the bronchi, while the distance between the edge of the tumor and the carina is more than 1.5 cm.
• Patients with pathological diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer.
• No distant metastasis in preoperative clinical evaluation.
• Adequate cardiac function, pulmonary function, liver function and renal function for anesthesia and bronchial sleeve resection.
• American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score: Grade I-III.
• Patients who can coordinate the treatment and research and sign the informed consent.
