Does a Multimodal no-Compression Suture Technique of the Intercostal Space Reduce Chronic Post-Thoracotomy Pain? A Prospective Randomized Study

University of Roma La Sapienza·interventional·Posted Dec 15, 2015·Updated Dec 15, 2015

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating intercostal muscle flap and pericostal no-compression suture and Standard suture technique of the intercostal space for Chronic Postoperative Pain. Completed, enrolled 380 participants.

Detailed Summary

Chronic post-thoracotomy pain is a significant adverse outcome of thoracic surgery. transcollation technology evaluated with a prospective randomized trial the effect of a multimodal no-compression suture technique of the intercostal space on postoperative pain occurrence in patients undergoing mini-thoracotomy. Patients undergoing a muscle-sparing lateral mini-thoracotomy for different thoracic diseases were randomly divided into two groups:one group received intercostal muscle flap harvesting and pericostal no-compression "edge" suture (IMF group), and the second group received a standard suture technique associated with an intrapleural intercostal nerve block (IINB group). The aim of the study was to demonstrate that the multimodal no-compression suture technique is a rapid and feasible procedure reducing early and chronic post-thoracotomy pain intensity.
