摘要
Thoracotomy is one the most painful surgical incisions. Surgical exposure to the thoracic cavity causes damage to multiple nociceptive structures in the chest wall and cardiopulmonary viscera. There is a high incidence of both acute and chronic postoperative pain, which can delay recovery and cause long-term disability. Prevention of pain after thoracotomy is challenging and may require a variety of interventions.
