Pulmonary Segmentectomy

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, target-value clinical trial conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Thoracic and Abdominal Endoscopic Surgery System (model WJ-SR01-200) in pediatric surgical procedures. A total of 64 pediatric subjects aged 0 to \<18 years who meet the indications for thoracic and abdominal laparoscopic surgery will be enrolled. The system is used to perform typical pediatric surgeries including pyeloplasty, ureteral reimplantation, ovarian tumor resection, radical resection of Hirschsprung disease, fundoplication, segmental lung resection, and choledochal cyst resection. The primary efficacy endpoint is the rate of non-conversion to open or conventional laparoscopic surgery.The primary safety endpoint is the incidence of device-related or possibly related Clavien-Dindo Grade ≥3 complications from the first incision up to 30 days postoperatively. Secondary assessments include operation time, estimated intraoperative blood loss, pediatric pain scores, transfusion rate, length of hospital stay, device performance, and surgeon intraoperative physical load. Safety is also evaluated by overall complication rate, device deficiency rate, 30-day readmission/reoperation/mortality rates, vital signs, laboratory tests, and adverse events. The trial follows the Declaration of Helsinki and relevant Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All subjects will provide written informed consent from legal guardians; assent will be obtained from subjects when appropriate.

In this study, the reasons for prolonged hospital stay after thoracoscopic (video- or robot-assisted) anatomical lung resections are investigated. Currently, whenever possible, these anatomical lung resections are performed thoracoscopically, as they offer significant improvements in terms of postoperative pain, number of postoperative complications, rehabilitation, tolerance for adjuvant chemotherapy, and length of hospital stay. The development of an 'Enhanced Recovery After Surgery' (ERAS) protocol for lung surgery has further reduced hospital stay and the need for opioids for analgesia. Despite the optimal implementation of the ERAS protocol, there are still patients who need to stay in the hospital longer than the median. The aim of this research is to investigate the reasons for this.
