Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a research study for participants who have been diagnosed with lung cancer and are receiving VATS (Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) lobectomy or segmentectomy. The overall objective of this study is to develop a database to collect data on participants who are undergoing VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy for lung cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This database will be used as for quality improvement purposes. Furthermore, the database will help in collecting data in an organized fashion, which will help the investigators learn more about the details of the workup performed prior to the surgery, during the surgery, peri-operative management and early follow-up. The investigators hope that this database will help to determine a common guideline to perform VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy. By creating a common guideline for future treatment of VATS patients, the investigators predict the efficiency of the process will increase significantly without decreasing, and perhaps even improving, the quality of the procedure.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1-VATS-associated best practices

* Data to be collected will include demographic data and information about the pre-operative workup, surgical procedure, postoperative course and early discharge course for these patients.
* After the last patient completes the 30-day post surgery follow-up, the investigators will determine a set of best practices to implement at each of the sites for the quality improvement initiative. During the assessment period, no patients will be enrolled into the study.

VATS-associated best practices

Intervention Type OTHER

Cohort 2-VATS-associated best practices

-Once the set of VATS-associated best practices, an additional cohort of approximately 200 patients will be enrolled and followed in a manner identical to the first cohort.
