Abstract
Thoracotomy is one of the most painful operative procedures. Ineffective postoperative pain
management practice in this procedure will result in physiological and psychosocial deterioration which increases
the risk of morbidity and mortality. This can be reduced by ensuring adequate analgesia using multimodal
technique with regional blocks. So far epidural block is the gold standard, intercostal, and paravertebral blocks are
the alternatives which results in somatic and sympathetic blockade of multiple dermatomes and reduce pain.
Objective: The Prevalence and Risk factors of post thoracotomy pain syndrome in TAH, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,
was assessed during the study period from July to November 2024 GC.
