Brief Summary

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is frequently performed in thoracic surgery. It is widely accepted that VATS causes acute pain. Many factors such as postoperative analgesia treatment plan, operation time, number of chest tubes, and duration of chest tube stay can affect acute pain. This acute pain prolongs the discharge time of the patients and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative morbidity. Postoperative acute pain may cause chronic pain in the later period, and may adversely affect the quality of life of the patients. This study, it was aimed to analyze the symptoms of chronic pain in the 1st and 3rd months postoperatively in patients who had undergone VATS.

Conditions

Postoperative Pain; Postoperative Pain, Acute; Postoperative Pain, Chronic; VATS

Keywords

Postoperative Pain; Postoperative Pain, Acute; Postoperative Pain, Chronic; VATS

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pain scores at 1st months.

  Chronic pain symptoms will be assessed using the visual analog scale on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Neuropathic pain symptoms (Burning, stabbing, electric shock-like pain, tingling, numbness, pins, and needles feeling, hyperalgesia, allodynia, and hypoesthesia) will also be asked to the patients in the 1st month after surgery.

• Pain scores at 3rd months

  Chronic pain symptoms will be assessed using the visual analog scale on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Neuropathic pain symptoms (Burning, stabbing, electric shock-like pain, tingling, numbness, pins, and needles feeling, hyperalgesia, allodynia, and hypoesthesia) will also be asked to the patients in the 3rd month after surgery.

Interventions

VATS application PROCEDURE

The chronic pain findings of the patients who underwent VATS will be questioned at the postoperative 1st and 3rd months.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

• Age between 18 and 65 years
• American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II-III
• Body mass index between 18-35 kg/m2
• Patients undergoing elective VATS

You may not qualify if:

• Advanced cancer
• History of chronic analgesic therapy
• Patients with previous thoracic surgery
• Patients who were operated under emergency conditions
