Zusammenfassung:	This study was conducted to explore the feasibility and safety of postoperative chest drainage with a Foley catheter for lung cancer patients undergoing a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. Data from lung cancer patients who underwent a VATS lobectomy with insertion of a catheter (Foley catheter or 28-F chest tube) were analysed. A total of 441 patients were included preoperatively for participation, with 208 patients in the Foley catheter group and 233 in the 28-F group. In the Foley catheter group, a shorter mean number of days was required until chest tube removal after lobectomy (2.6 ± 1.3 vs. 3.5 ± 2.0 d, P
