Summary
This is a research study designed to test whether a treatment called Intercostal Nerve Cryotherapy is an effective way to help control post-surgical pain for patients undergoing minimally invasive pulmonary resection.

Cryotherapy is a method of controlling pain by freezing nerves between the ribs that would transmit pain impulses to the brain.
