TLDR
Patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery had less pain and subjective shoulder dysfunction although their pain medication requirements were similar to those of thoracotomy patients less than 1 year from operation.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic pain as an outcome of surgery. A review of predictive factors.
TL;DR: Five groups of surgeries were selected because the incidence of pain is known to be high, thus improving the probability of detecting predictive factors and the natural history of patients with and without persistent pain after surgery provides an opportunity to improve the understanding of the physiology and psychology of chronic pain.

Video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy: experience with 1,100 cases.
TL;DR: V VATS lobectomy with anatomic dissection can be performed with low morbidity and mortality rates, and the risk of intraoperative bleeding or recurrence in an incision seems minimal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic pain after surgery
TL;DR: Predictive factors are reviewed and core risk factor and outcome domains for inclusion in future epidemiological studies investigating chronic pain after surgery are proposed to advance the field of CPSP research by striving for consensus among pain experts.

TL;DR: Video-assisted thoracic surgery is associated with reduced pain, shoulder dysfunction, and early pulmonary impairment compared with LLT for select patients requiring pulmonary resection for peripheral lung lesions.

Reduction of postoperative pain by encouragement and instruction of patients. a study of doctor-patient rapport.
TL;DR: It is shown that patients who were told about their operations before the procedure remembered the operation and its sequelae more favorably than those who were not well informed.

Rodney J. Landreneau,Michael J. Mack,Stephen R. Hazelrigg,Robert D. Dowling,Tea E. Acuff,Mitchell J. Magee,Peter F. Ferson +6 more
TL;DR: The intercostal access strategy and the instrument positioning that have become refined during the course of the experience with 467 patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic operations over the last 18 months are described.

Long-term postthoracotomy pain.
TL;DR: It is concluded that long-term chest wall pain is common postthoracotomy, generally not severe, but a small proportion of patients may experience persistent, moderately disabling pain.
