简要总结
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Length of hospital stay (days)
时间窗: immediately after surgery until hospital discharge (1 week on average), up to 3 months
The primary objective is to investigate the length of hospital stay of patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracoscopic anatomical lung resection with peri-operative care according to the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for lung surgery
次要结局
- Reasons for delayed discharge (more than 2 days postoperatively) identified through daily questionnaires and review of medical records.(immediately after surgery until hospital discharge (1 week on average), up to 3 months)
- Number, frequency and severity of postoperative complications during hospital stay.(immediately after surgery until hospital discharge (1 week on average), up to 3 months)
