thoracotomy

English

Paraplegia complicating thoracotomy is rare but catastrophic. en.wikipedia.org

If the lesion is found on further imaging to be suspicious, it should be surgically excised (via thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracic surgery) to confirm the diagnosis by microscopical examination. en.wikipedia.org

The current treatments for post-thoracotomy pain are opiates, epidural analgesia, and intercostal nerve blocks. en.wikipedia.org
