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.

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2016
This article reviews and summarizes the pathophysiology, risk factors, and the management of arrhythmias in patients undergoing noncardiac thoracic surgery.Cardiac arrhythmias are common findings in the perioperative period, particularly with increasing age. They often complicate the course of the patient's recovery after operation.

Pneumocephalus after thoracotomy
Surgical Neurology, 1995Pneumocephalus is a well-known phenomenon in which a fistula between the thoracic cavity and the subarachnoid space is one of its rare etiologies.We report a new case of pneumocephalus after thoracotomy and review eight similar cases in the literature.In all cases, an operation was carried out for an intrathoracic neoplasm located at the apex with ...

Emergency thoracotomy for injury
Injury, 1986Emergency thoracotomy is required in 10-15 per cent of all patients with thoracic injury. Nine specific indications for emergency thoracotomy have been described for injured persons. A variety of incisions is available to the surgeon, and selection of the appropriate incision is based on radiographic and clinical findings.

Lateral thoracotomies include many different variants with a common final pathway, consisting of an intercostal incision. They are the most frequent incisions in daily thoracic procedures. We will describe the lateral muscle-sparing thoracotomy in the Weissmuller's position which is, according to us, the universal thoracotomy.

Pain relief has come a long way in 20 years. Many aspects of the relief of pain of thoracic surgery must be rationalized and modernized to meet the demands placed on services and subject to new dynamics. To place the present state of practice and knowledge in the context of an anticipation that such attitudes will impact on and, ultimately, drive ...
