Dor crônica após toracotomia é uma dor crônica que se desenvolve ou aumenta de intensidade após uma incisão cirúrgica na parede torácica (toracotomia) que persiste ou é recorrente por mais de 3 meses subsequentes à cirurgia (ou seja, além do processo de cicatrização). A dor está localizada na parede torácica._x000D_ Outras causas de dor, incluindo infecção, malignidade, etc., precisam ser excluídas, bem como a dor crônica persistindo a partir de uma condição preexistente. No caso de uma dor que persiste a partir de uma condição pré-operatória, a intensidade e/ou as características desta dor devem ser diferentes, e pode incluir o desenvolvimento novo de um componente neuropático. A dor crônica após toracotomia é mais comumente neuropática. Mesmo se os mecanismos neuropáticos sejam cruciais, este tipo de dor deve ser diagnosticado aqui. | |||

Chronic pain after thoracotomy is chronic pain developing or increasing in intensity after a surgical incision to the chest wall (thoracotomy) that persists or recurs for longer than 3 months after surgery (i.e. beyond the healing process). The pain is localised to the chest wall. Other causes of chronic pain including infection, malignancy etc. need to be excluded as well as chronic pain continuing from a pre-existing pain condition. In case of pain that continues from a preoperative condition, intensity and/or pain characteristics must be different and may include the new development of a neuropathic component.
