Summary

The goal of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to compare the impact of the chest tube type on pain, chest drainage efficacy and early postoperative outcome following VATS lobectomy for lung cancer.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* silicone chest drains are less painful compared to standard PVC drains?
* is there any difference in chest drainage efficacy and short term outcome between the two groups? Researchers will compare silicone chest drain group with PVC chest drain group to see if there is any difference in postoperative pain, chest drainage efficacy and short term outcome.
