Abstract

Objectives: Thoracotomy causes intense postoperative pain which may become chronic. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) leads to less postoperative pain compared with thoracotomy. In this study, we analyzed pain scores in patients who underwent lung resections with VATS or thoracotomy.
