Pain Outcomes Following Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) With LAP Protector
Pain Outcomes Following Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) With Rigid Spreading Versus Soft Spreading (Using LAP Protector)

The purpose of this study is to see if different types of spreading (rigid or soft) of Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for lung cancer have different effects on pain.

The Lap-Protector (Hakko Co., Japan) is a device that consists of two flexible rings made of superelasticity alloys covered with polyurethane polyamide, and a thin silicone rubber membrane that is attached to the outer rim of the two rings. If the two rings are pulled apart, the device assumes a cylindrical shape. The outer diameter of each flexible ring is 12 cm, and this device can be used for minilaparotomy wounds between 5 and 9cm long.
