Brief Summary
The study aims to identify specific or potential reasons that prolong the length of hospital stay after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy. The hypothesis is that patients who are still in hospital after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy are associated with prolonged air leak, infection, pneumonia, atrial fibrillation or other complications or social factors.
