Post-thoracotomy pain syndrome (PTPS) is difficult for thoracic surgeons to manage. PTPS should never arise after minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS), a form of MIS for thoracic disease, has become more common around the world and might reduce the risk of PTPS after thoracic surgery. We compared the frequencies of PTPS after U-VATS-based and multi-port VATS (M-VATS)-based lobectomy for lung cancer.
