Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Anatomic Lung resection (lobectomy, segmentectomy or wedge resection) due to a malignant lung tumor (lung carcinoma or lung metastasis) via VATS (video assisted thoracoscopy), RATS (robot assisted thoracostopy), or thoracotomy. The participation of other working groups is possible and desirable. For this purpose, a presentation of the study is planned at the 29th annual conference of the DGT (German Society for Thoracic Surgery) in October 2020 in Erfurt.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Hypothesis: Intercostal nerve damage correlates with the frequency and severity of chronic pain after thoracic surgery. The damage to the intercostal nerves can be objectified by measuring the peripheral motor latency (PmL) of the magnetically evoked motor potentials (MEP). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The use of minimally invasive surgical techniques (VATS / RATS) can reduce the damage to the intercostal nerves, the frequency and severity of chronic pain after thoracic surgery compared to the conventional open thoracotomy. | — |
