• Lead Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out the meaning of recovery after lung cancer surgery from a patient's point of view. The results of this study would help improve postoperative recovery in lung cancer patients.

Detailed Description

In patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lung resection for lung cancer, the survey on the 'meaning of recovery after surgery' are conducted before surgery, 2 days after surgery, and 30 days after surgery. The questionnaire includes importance score of each question regarding the meaning of recovery after lung cancer surgery.

After 2 days of surgery and 30 days after surgery, the questionnaire about the recovery score and the part where the patients felt difficulties are conducted to investigate what recovery means from a patient's point of view.
