This results in great variability in postoperative care and length of hospital stay (LOS). Chest tube and pain management are prominent factors regarding enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery, and in standardised care they are crucial to improve quality of recovery and decrease LOS.\n\nHistorically, postoperative chest tubes are left in place for at least a fixed number of 3-5 days, irrespective of absence of air leakage. This period was deemed necessary for adequate pleurodesis and prevention of recurrence. However, it is suggested that removal on the same day of surgery is safe and associated with a reduced LOS.\n\nRegarding postoperative pain management, thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is the gold standard for postoperative pain management following video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Although the analgesic effect of TEA is clear, it is associated with hypotension and urinary retention. Therefore, unilateral regional techniques, such as paravertebral blockade (PVB), are developed.\n\nThe investigators hypothesize that early chest tube removal accompanied by a single-shot paravertebral blockade (PVB) for analgesia is safe regarding pneumothorax recurrence and non-inferior regarding pain, but superior regarding LOS when compared to standard conservative treatment.",[102,103,104,105,106,107],"Pneumothorax, Primary Spontaneous","VATS","Pain, Postoperative","Locoregional Anaesthesia","Thoracic Epidural","Chest Tube Drainage","2025-05-06",{"date":110,"type":111},"2025-05-09","ACTUAL",{"date":113,"type":111},"2023-11-08",{"date":115,"type":96},"2028-11-01",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
