Meaning of Recovery After Lung Cancer Surgery

Meaning of Recovery to Patients Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study

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.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Lung Cancer; Surgery; Recovery

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. Length of hospital and ICU stay and postoperative complications are also evaluated.
