1.	Pain (Aches) 10/01/1996 - "Compared to posterolateral thoracotomy, chronic pain following surgery is dramatically reduced. " 12/01/2005 - "We observed that TENS produced no evidence of side effects or intolerance in the patients of group 1. TENS is thus beneficial for pain relief following thoracotomy and has no side effects. " 07/01/1996 - "Epidural analgesia is effective in the treatment of post-thoracotomy pain but may give rise to significant side-effects. " 06/01/1996 - "The operative field is significantly smaller than with a standard thoracotomy, requiring more time to dissect the mediastinum; however, the pain is less and shoulder range of motion is superior to what is seen after standard thoracotomy during the early postoperative period. " 02/01/2003 - "Muscle therapy, a form of manual therapy, was applied to control pain persisting for more than 1 week following posterolateral thoracotomy, and its efficacy for the alleviation of pain was investigated.

2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 09/01/1998 - "CONCLUSIONS: PLTE for advanced pharyngeal or cervical esophageal tumors is the best treatment currently available, but it is indicated only in very selected cases: when it is technically impossible to perform reconstruction with a free jejunal graft after circumferential pharyngolaryngectomy; as primary surgery, rather than as salvage surgery following chemoradiotherapy; after careful preoperative morphologic and endoscopic assessment of the extent of the tumor; and in patients able to tolerate a thoracotomy for an esophagectomy with lymphadenectomy. " 07/01/1982 - "The thoracotomy is necessary and the best treatment is enucleation of the tumor." 11/15/1994 - "Comparison between the 36 10-year survivors and the 150 nonsurvivors revealed that only the percentage of incomplete resections and the mean number of resections per patient were significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.001); the histologic type of the primary tumor, the disease-free interval, and the number of resected PMs at the first thoracotomy were not found to be statistically significant prognostic factors. " 08/01/1980 - "At the present time, expeditious limited thoracotomy affords a safe, rapid, and effective treatment for patients with a benign tumor of the lung or bronchus." 03/01/2002 - "In selected cases (Siewert type II-III, T1-3 tumors with clinically negative mediastinal lymphnodes) the procedure in study appears technically feasible, it provides a satisfactory volume of esophageal exeresis and an adequate extension of mediastinal lymphadenectomy, representing a safe and effective alternative to thoracotomy in cardia cancer surgery."

3.	Neoplasm Metastasis (Metastasis) 06/01/1994 - "The number of metastases, the disease-free interval, unilateral versus bilateral metastases, preoperative and postoperative adjuvant treatment, and the number of thoracotomies performed were not of significant influence on outcome. " 01/01/1995 - "At age 9 1/2 he had a further isolated pulmonary metastasis resected and is again disease-free more than 30 months from the last thoracotomy. " 02/01/1994 - "We conclude that resection of renal lung metastasis is safe and effective, that patients with solitary metastasis have a better survival than those with multiple metastases, that resectable extrapulmonary disease does not necessarily contra-indicate pulmonary resection, and that repeat thoracotomy is warranted in selected patients with recurrent lung metastases." 11/01/1986 - "Factors predictive of increased survival following the second resection of pulmonary metastases were resectability and a disease-free interval of greater than six months from the first thoracotomy to the second recurrence in the lung. " 04/01/1995 - "CONCLUSIONS--We conclude that resection of colorectal lung metastases is safe and effective, that resectable extrapulmonary disease does not contra-indicate pulmonary resection and that repeat thoracotomy is warranted in selected patients with recurrent lung metastases."

4.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 07/01/2007 - "The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that survival of most critically injured penetrating trauma patients requiring emergency department thoracotomy (EDT) would be improved if procedures were restricted until arrival to the trauma bay. " 02/01/2009 - "In the trauma setting, emergency thoracotomy is the best approach. " 04/01/2002 - "The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of emergency thoracotomy in our institution in an effort to determine whether this procedure is both beneficial and cost effective in blunt and/or penetrating trauma. " 12/01/2001 - "With the improvement in emergency medical services, including speed of transportation of these patients, better resuscitation, and knowledgeable use of cardiac ultrasound or emergency room thoracotomy, more patients with coronary artery injuries will survive and reach the operating room. " 08/01/2006 - "This technique avoids the trauma and postoperative morbidity of a median sternotomy or thoracotomy and proves effective in solving the technical, functional, financial, and aesthetic problems."

5.	Postoperative Pain 08/01/2001 - "Recently, it has been shown that the video-assisted approach compared to the standard anterolateral thoracotomy results in a significant reduction of the early postoperative pain. " 03/01/1999 - "Thoracoscopic surgery is superior to thoracotomy in terms of less invasion and postoperative pain. " 03/01/1991 - "Continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block has been shown in a randomized, controlled study to be effective in reducing postoperative pain after thoracotomy and in restoring pulmonary mechanics. " 08/01/2009 - "Continuous incisional infusion of local anesthetic through an extrapleural catheter to achieve an intercostal nerve block is a safe and effective adjunct to control postoperative pain after thoracotomy. " 03/01/1989 - "Our present data show that intrapleural analgesia is useful in the management of postoperative pain in patients who undergo thoracotomy. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
