Study population: Patients aged 19 to 80 years undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lung resection for lung cancer

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

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients aged 19 to 80 years undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lung resection for lung cancer
* Patients who can provide written consent to participate in clinical trials, understand the procedures of this clinical trial, and properly fill out patient-reported questionnaires or respond appropriately to interviews

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients who did not consent to the trial
* Patients who have difficulty filling out questionnaires or answering interviews about the meaning of recovery
* Patients judged to be inappropriate for this clinical trial based on the opinion of the investigator or investigator
