Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2006
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. Axillary thoracotomy has increased the interest in muscle-sparing approaches. Surgical techniques, indications, pitfalls and tips are described.

If post-thoracotomy pain is the target, Integrated Thoracotomy is the choice
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019Despite the overgrowth of procedures done by VATS, there are still needs for thoracotomy. Post-thoracotomy pain plays an important role in many post-operative morbidities. Surgeons should make efforts to evolve new techniques to reduce post-thoracotomy pain with its associated morbidities.

Abstract Thoracotomy pain, if untreated, is excruciating and risks acute and chronic complications. Muscle dissection, rib retraction and intercostal nerve damage activate nociceptors. Management is challenging particularly with pre-existing respiratory and co-morbid disease.

Regimen for a Thoracotomy Patient
The American Journal of Nursing, 1967The authors use the word, "regimen," meaning "regular pattern of action," but the patient who has had chest surgery may feel he is the victim of a dictatorial "regime," for his nurse must insist that he cough, turn, exercise, and get out of bed and walk, bottles and all, night and day.

Vertical thoracotomy versus conventional posterolateral thoracotomy
Menoufia Medical Journal, 2016Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of vertical thoracotomy as a thoracic approach. Background A carefully planned thoracic incision should provide effortless and excellent exposure, preservation of the underlying anatomy and function, and a cosmetically acceptable result. Materials and methods We conducted a prospective, cohort

Emergency department thoracotomy
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1982The charts of 33 consecutive patients undergoing emergency department thoracotomies between July 1, 1979 and June 30, 1980 were reviewed. Thoracotomies were performed in victims of both blunt and penetrating trauma who had suffered cardiopulmonary arrest and were refractory to the usual methods of resuscitation. Overall survival was 12.1% (4/33). There

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1987
There continues to be a debate on the indications for and value of the emergency department thoracotomy, especially with regard to the subject of thoracotomy performed by the emergency physician. The current literature does not deal specifically with thoracotomies performed in the emergency department by an emergency physician on trauma patients.

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.

Emergency department thoracotomy
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1981Emergency thoracotomy has become a mainstay in the resuscitation of patients with major thoracic injuries. It also is occasionally useful in several other life-threatening conditions. The specific indications for emergency thoracotomy are reviewed, and expeditious thoracotomy in the emergency department, when necessary, is advocated.
