Brief Title: ThOracoscopic Wedge Resection Treated With Chest Tube Removal Intraoperatively
Official Title: Pain and Reasons for Hospitalization in Patients Treated Without Post-operative Chest Tube After Thoracoscopic Wedge Resection - A Randomized Controlled Study
Study ID: NCT02829736
Brief Summary: Chest tubes are used routinely although preliminary studies demonstrate the feasibility and safety of intraoperative chest drain removal. Previous studies are however either retrospective or mainly concerning benign disease. Hypothesis: Participants treated without post-operative chest tube after thoracoscopic wedge resection have less pain, better pulmonary function and similar complication profile than participants treated with standard post-operative chest tube, and could possibly be discharged earlier.
