This study looks at how a special kind of surgery affects people's lives after they have part of their lung removed. The surgery is called "uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery" (VATS). It's a fancy way of saying the surgery uses a tiny camera to help doctors see inside the chest through a small cut near the nipple area. This method is less invasive, meaning it usually causes less pain and helps people go home from the hospital sooner.
To join this study, you need to be 18 or older and have early-stage lung cancer without having had chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation before. The study is not for those who have had previous lung surgeries or who have serious health issues like severe heart disease or other types of cancer.
**Key Points:** - The study involves a less painful, quicker recovery surgery. - Participants must be healthy enough for surgery and sign a consent form. - Not suitable for those with serious health problems or previous lung surgeries.
